About the fourth watch of the night, he came toward them walking on the sea.^[c] He meant to pass by them. ⁴⁹ But when they saw him walking on the sea, they thought it was a ghost and cried out. ^50 [d]They had all seen him and were terrified. But at once he spoke with them, “Take courage, it is I, do not be afraid!” ⁵¹ He got into the boat with them and the wind died down. They were [completely] astounded. ⁵² They had not understood the incident of the loaves.^[e] On the contrary, their hearts were hardened.^(B)

^16 (A)When it was evening, his disciples went down to the sea, ¹⁷ embarked in a boat, and went across the sea to Capernaum. It had already grown dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them. ¹⁸ The sea was stirred up because a strong wind was blowing. ¹⁹ When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea^[a] and coming near the boat, and they began to be afraid.^{(B) 20} But he said to them, “It is I.^[b] Do not be afraid.” ²¹ They wanted to take him into the boat, but the boat immediately arrived at the shore to which they were heading.
