15 Therefore, when Jesus realized that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king,n he withdrew again to the mountain by himself.

THE FIFTH SIGN: WALKING ON WATER

16 Wheno evening came, his disciples went down to the sea, 17 got into a boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum.p Darkness had already set in, but Jesus had not yet come to them. 18 A high wind arose, and the sea began to churn. 19 After they had rowed about three or four miles,C they saw Jesus walking on the sea. He was coming near the boat, and they were afraid. 20 But he said to them, “It is I.D,q Don’t be afraid.” 21 Then they were willing to take him on board, and at once the boat was at the shore where they were heading.
