Jesus Walks on the Water

⁴⁵ And immediately he made his disciples get into the boat and go on ahead to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he himself dismissed the crowd. ⁴⁶ And after he^[a] had said farewell to them, he went away to the mountain to pray. ⁴⁷ And when^[b] evening came, the boat was in the middle of the sea and he was alone on the land. ⁴⁸ And he saw them being beaten in their rowing^[c] because the wind was against them. Around the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea, and he was wanting to pass by them. ⁴⁹ But when^[d] they saw him walking on the sea, they thought that it was a ghost, and they cried out. ⁵⁰ For they all saw him and were terrified. But immediately he spoke with them and said to them, “Have courage, I am he! Do not be afraid!” ⁵¹ And he went up with them into the boat, and the wind abated. And they were extraordinarily^[e] astounded within themselves, ⁵² because they did not understand concerning the loaves, but their hearts were hardened.
