Jesus Walks on the Sea

15 So Jesus, knowing that they were going to come and take Him by force (A)to make Him king, (B)withdrew again to (C)the mountain by Himself alone.

16 Now when evening came, His (D)disciples went down to the sea, 17 and after getting into a boat, they began to cross the sea (E)to Capernaum. It had already become dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them. 18 And the sea *was stirred up because a strong wind was blowing. 19 Then, when they had rowed about [a]twenty-five or thirty stadia, they *saw Jesus walking on the sea and drawing near to the boat; and they were frightened. 20 But He *said to them, [b]“It is I; [c](F)do not be afraid.” 21 So they were willing to receive Him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land to which they were going.
