John 6:17-25

17But as darkness fell and Jesus still hadn’t come back, they got into the boat and headed across the lake toward Capernaum.

18Soon a gale swept down upon them, and the sea grew very rough.

19They had rowed three or four miles when suddenly they saw Jesus walking on the water toward the boat. They were terrified,

20but he called out to them, “Don’t be afraid. I am here!”

22The next day the crowd that had stayed on the far shore saw that the disciples had taken the only boat, and they realized Jesus had not gone with them.

23Several boats from Tiberias landed near the place where the Lord had blessed the bread and the people had eaten.

24So when the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they got into the boats and went across to Capernaum to look for him.

25They found him on the other side of the lake and asked, “Rabbi, when did you get here?”
