Walking on Water

6:16 Now when evening came, his disciples went down to the lake,23 6:17 got into a boat, and started to cross the lake24 to Capernaum.25 (It had already become dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them.)26 6:18 By now a strong wind was blowing and the sea was getting rough. 6:19 Then, when they had rowed about three or four miles,27 they caught sight of Jesus walking on the lake,28 approaching the boat, and they were frightened. 6:20 But he said to them, “It is I. Do not be afraid.” 6:21 Then they wanted to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat came to the land where they had been heading.

6:22 The next day the crowd that remained on the other side of the lake29 realized that only one small boat30 had been there, and that Jesus had not boarded31 it with his disciples, but that his disciples had gone away alone. 6:23 But some boats from Tiberias32 came to shore33 near the place where they had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks.34 6:24 So when the crowd realized that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they got into the boats35 and came to Capernaum36 looking for Jesus.
