33 And then the waves did break beneath his feet, and he began to sink, and in the fearfulness of soul he cried, O save me, Lord, or I am lost! 34 And Jesus took him by the hand and said, O you of little faith! why did you doubt? And Jesus led the way unto the boat. 35 The storm had spent its force; the winds were still, and they were near the shore, and when they landed they were in the valley of Gennesaret. CHAPTER 125. _The Christines are welcomed in Gennesaret. Many follow Jesus for the loaves and fish. He tells them of the bread of life. Speaks of his flesh and blood as symbols of the bread and water of life. The people are offended and many of his disciples follow him no more._ The news soon spread through all the valley of Gennesaret that Jesus and the twelve had come, and many people came to see. 2 They brought their sick and laid them at the master’s feet, and all the day he taught and healed. 3 The multitudes upon the other side who had been fed the day before and other multitudes, went down to see the Lord; but when they found him not they sought him in Capernaum. 4 And when they found him not at home, they went on to Gennesaret.
