JESUS WALKS ON THE WATER

JOHN 6:16-24

16 When evening came,

His disciples went down to the lake,

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.

18 A strong wind was blowing and the water grew rough.

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.

20 But he said to them, “It is I don’t be afraid.

21 Then they were willing to take him into the boat,

And immediately the boat reached the shore

Where they were heading.

22 The next day the crowd

That had stayed on the opposite shore of the lake

Realized that only one boat had been there,

And that Jesus had not entered it with his disciples,

But had gone away alone,

23 Then some boats from Tiberias

Landed near the place

Where the people had eaten the bread

After the Lord had given thanks.

24 Once the crowd realized

That neither Jesus nor his disciples were there,

They got into the boats

And went to Capernaum in search of Jesus.
