Psalm 107:23-32

New International Version

²³Some went out on the sea^(A) in ships;^(B)
    they were merchants on the mighty waters.
²⁴They saw the works of the Lord,^(C)
    his wonderful deeds in the deep.
²⁵For he spoke^(D) and stirred up a tempest^(E)
    that lifted high the waves.^(F)
²⁶They mounted up to the heavens and went down to the depths;
    in their peril^(G) their courage melted^(H) away.
²⁷They reeled^(I) and staggered like drunkards;
    they were at their wits’ end.
²⁸Then they cried^(J) out to the Lord in their trouble,
    and he brought them out of their distress.^(K)
²⁹He stilled the storm^(L) to a whisper;
    the waves^(M) of the sea^[a] were hushed.^(N)
³⁰They were glad when it grew calm,
    and he guided them^(O) to their desired haven.
³¹Let them give thanks^(P) to the Lord for his unfailing love^(Q)
    and his wonderful deeds^(R) for mankind.
³²Let them exalt^(S) him in the assembly^(T) of the people
    and praise him in the council of the elders.

John 6:16-24

New International Version

Jesus Walks on the Water^(A)

¹⁶When evening came, his disciples went down to the lake, ¹⁷where 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. ¹⁸A strong wind was blowing and the waters grew rough. ¹⁹When they had rowed about three or four miles,^[a] they saw Jesus approaching the boat, walking on the water;^(B) and they were frightened. ²⁰But he said to them, “It is I; don’t be afraid.”^(C) ²¹Then they were willing to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat reached the shore where they were heading.

²²The next day the crowd that had stayed on the opposite shore of the lake^(D) realized that only one boat had been there, and that Jesus had not entered it with his disciples, but that they had gone away alone.^(E) ²³Then some boats from Tiberias^(F) landed near the place where the people had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks.^(G) ²⁴Once the crowd realized that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they got into the boats and went to Capernaum in search of Jesus.
