John 6:15-20

J.B. Phillips New Testament

¹⁵ Then Jesus, realising that they were going to carry him off and make him their king, retired once more to the hill-side quite alone.

^16-20 In the evening, his disciples went down to the lake, embarked on the boat and made their way across the lake to Capernaum. Darkness had already fallen and Jesus had not returned to them. A strong wind sprang up and the water grew very rough. When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the water, and coming towards the boat, and they were terrified. But he spoke to them, “Don’t be afraid: it is I myself.”
