Mark 6:53-56


Jesus heals! In Him we are made whole!


With faith nothing is impossible.


‘Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful," Hebrews 10:23


Mark 6:53-56

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 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. The New King James Version


They had set out for Bethsaida on the northeastern shore, but the storm apparently changed their course. The land of Gennesaret was on the northwest shore of the Sea of Galilee, just west of Capernaum. It was and still is a fertile agricultural area. 


Mark summarizes Jesus’ healing ministry, noting how widespread it was. The hem of a garment was significant, for it was often woven with tassels that reminded the wearer of God’s commandments. The NKJV Study Bible 


Matthew 9:20 And suddenly, a woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years came from behind and touched the hem of His garment.


Matthew 14:36 and begged Him that they might only touch the hem of His garment. And as many as touched it were made perfectly well.
