Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

Mark 6
⁵⁰ for they all saw Him and were troubled. But immediately He talked with them and said to them, "Be of good cheer! It is I; do not be afraid."
⁵¹ Then He went up into the boat to them, and the wind ceased. And they were greatly amazed in themselves beyond measure, and marveled.
⁵² For they had not understood about the loaves, because their heart was hardened.
⁵³ When they had crossed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret and anchored there.
⁵⁴ And when they came out of the boat, immediately the people recognized Him,
⁵⁵ ran through that whole surrounding region, and began to carry about on beds those who were sick to wherever they heard He was.
⁵⁶ Wherever He entered into villages, cities, or in the country, they laid the sick in the marketplaces, and begged Him that they might just touch the hem of His garment. And as many as touched Him were made well.
Mark 7
¹ Then the Pharisees and some of the scribes came together to Him, having come from Jerusalem.
² Now when they saw some of His disciples eat bread with defiled, that is, with unwashed hands, they found fault.
³ For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they wash their hands in a special way, holding the tradition of the elders.
⁴ When they come from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they wash. And there are many other things which they have received and hold, like the washing of cups, pitchers, copper vessels, and couches.
