Matthew 14:22-24
New English Translation
Walking on Water
22 Immediately Jesus[a] made the disciples get into the boat and go ahead of him to the other side, while he dispersed the crowds. 23 And after he sent the crowds away, he went up the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone. 24 Meanwhile the boat, already far from land,[b] was taking a beating from the waves because the wind was against it.

24 But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.
