John 6:16-21

New Testament for Everyone

Jesus walking on the water

¹⁶ When it was evening, Jesus’ disciples went down to the seashore. ¹⁷ They got into a boat, and went across the sea towards Capernaum. It was already getting dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them. ¹⁸ A strong wind blew up, and the sea began to get rough. ¹⁹ They had been rowing for about three or four miles when they saw Jesus walking on the sea, coming towards the boat. They were terrified.

²⁰ But he spoke to them.

“It’s me!” he said. “Don’t be afraid!”

²¹ Then they were eager to take him into the boat; and at once the boat arrived at the land they had been making for.
