6:14

After the people saw the miraculous sign that Jesus did, they began to say, "Surely this is the Prophet who is to come into the world."

6:15

Jesus, knowing that they intended to come and make him king by force, withdrew again to a mountain by himself.

6:16

When evening came, his disciples went down to the lake,

6:17

where they got into a boat and set off across the lake for Capernaum . By now it was dark, and Jesus had not yet joined them.

6:18

A strong wind was blowing and the waters grew rough.

6:19

When they had rowed three or three and a half miles, they saw Jesus approaching the boat, walking on the water; and they were terrified.

6:20

But he said to them, "It is I; don't be afraid."

6:21

Then they were willing to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat reached the shore where they were heading.
