Jesus Walks on the Sea

45 (A)And immediately Jesus made His disciples get into (B)the boat and go ahead of Him to the other side to (C)Bethsaida, while He Himself was sending the crowd away. 46 And after (D)bidding them farewell, He left (E)for the mountain to pray.

47 And when it was evening, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and He was alone on the land. 48 And seeing them [a]straining at the oars, for the wind was against them, at about the [b](F)fourth watch of the night He *came to them, walking on the sea; and He was intending to pass by them. 49 But when they saw Him walking on the sea, they thought that it was a ghost, and cried out; 50 for they all saw Him and were [c]terrified. But immediately He spoke with them and *said to them, (G)Take courage; it is I, (H)do not be afraid.” 51 Then He got into (I)the boat with them, and the wind stopped; and they were [d]utterly amazed, 52 for (J)they [e]had not gained any insight about the loaves, but their [f]heart (K)was hardened.

Walking on the Water

45 Immediately(A) He made His disciples get into the boat and go ahead of Him to the other side, to Bethsaida,(B) while He dismissed the crowd. 46 After He said good-bye to them, He went away to the mountain(C) to pray.(D) 47 When evening came, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and He was alone on the land. 48 He saw them being battered(E) as they rowed,[a] because the wind was against them. Around three in the morning[b] He came toward them walking on the sea and wanted to pass by them. 49 When they saw Him walking on the sea, they thought it was a ghost(F) and cried out; 50 for they all saw Him and were terrified.(G) Immediately He spoke with them and said, “Have courage!(H) It is I.(I) Don’t be afraid.”(J) 51 Then He got into the boat with them, and the wind ceased. They were completely astounded,[c] 52 because they had not understood about the loaves. Instead, their hearts were hardened.(K)
