John 6:17-25

17and they got into a boat and started to cross the sea to Capernaum. It was already dark, and Jesus had still not come [back] to them.

18The sea was getting rough and rising high because a strong wind was blowing.

19Then, when they had rowed three or four miles [and were near the center of the sea], they saw Jesus walking on the sea and approaching the boat; and they were [terribly] frightened.

20But Jesus said to them, “It is I (I AM); do not be afraid.”

21Then they were willing to take Him on board the boat, and immediately the boat reached the [shore of the] land to which they were going.

22The next day the crowd that stood on the other side of the sea realized that there had been only one small boat there, and that Jesus had not boarded the boat with His disciples, but that His disciples had gone away alone.

23[Now some] other small boats from Tiberias had come in near the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks.

24So when the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor His disciples were there, they boarded the small boats themselves and came to Capernaum looking for Jesus.

25And when they found Him on the other side of the sea, they asked Him, “Rabbi, when did You get here?”
