¹⁶When evening came, Jesus’ disciples went down to the lake, ¹⁷got into a boat, and went back across the lake towards Capernaum. Night came on, and Jesus still had not come to them. ¹⁸By then a strong wind was blowing and stirring up the water. ¹⁹The disciples had rowed about five or six kilometres when they saw Jesus walking on the water, coming near the boat, and they were terrified. ²⁰“Don’t be afraid,” Jesus told them, “it is I!” ²¹Then they willingly took him into the boat, and immediately the boat reached land at the place they were heading for.

The People Seek Jesus

²²Next day the crowd which had stayed on the other side of the lake realized that there had been only one boat there. They knew that Jesus had not gone in it with his disciples, but that they had left without him. ²³Other boats, which were from Tiberias, came to shore near the place where the crowd had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks. ²⁴When the crowd saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they got into those boats and went to Capernaum, looking for him.
