And immediately he talked with them, and said to them, Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid. 51And he went up to them into the ship; and the wind ceased: and they were sore amazed in themselves beyond measure, and wondered. 52For they considered not the miracle of the loaves: for their heart was hardened.
