John 6:17-25

17They got into a boat and started to cross the sea to the city of Capernaum. By this time it was dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them.

18A strong wind started to blow and stir up the sea.

19After they had rowed three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea. He was coming near the boat, and they became terrified.

20Jesus told them, “It’s me. Don’t be afraid!”

21So they were willing to help Jesus into the boat. Immediately, the boat reached the shore where they were going.

22On the next day the people were still on the other side of the sea. They noticed that only one boat was there and that Jesus had not stepped into that boat with his disciples. The disciples had gone away without him.

23Other boats from Tiberias arrived near the place where they had eaten the bread after the Lord gave thanks.

24When the people saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they got into these boats and went to the city of Capernaum to look for Jesus.

25When they found him on the other side of the sea, they asked him, “Rabbi, when did you get here?”
