Neville Goddard on Mark 6:53-55 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Mark 6 in context

Scripture Focus

53And when they had passed over, they came into the land of Gennesaret, and drew to the shore.

54And when they were come out of the ship, straightway they knew him,

55And ran through that whole region round about, and began to carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard he was.

Mark 6:53-55

Biblical Context

They landed in Gennesaret, and straightway the people recognized Jesus and began carrying the sick from all around to be healed.

Neville's Inner Vision

When they reached Gennesaret, the crowd did not seek a distant miracle but recognized the living I AM in their midst. In Neville's terms, the ship and shore are states of consciousness, and the sudden recognition of Jesus is the inner acknowledgment of your own awareness. The sick carried on beds symbolize held beliefs and symptoms that are moved by the power of awareness, not by external agents alone. Jesus represents the presence of God within you—an inner fact that, once acknowledged, prompts immediate action in consciousness: a rapid spread of healing throughout the inner region as thoughts align with a single truth. The scene invites you to understand that healing is a shift of state—when you know the I AM as your own being, the perceived sickness is carried away by the current of your awareness. Thus, the external scene mirrors the inner awakening: healing flows wherever the recognition of God’s presence is allowed to be real in you.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and affirm, 'I am the I AM, healed now.' Feel the truth as a lived sensation; imagine carrying the beds of sickness to the shore of inner awareness and observe healing spreading through your mind and body.
