16When evening came, the disciples went down to the sea.17And after they had climbed into a boat, they were going across the sea to Capernaum. And darkness had already come, and Jesus had not yet come to them.18And the sea was being stirred up because a strong wind was blowing.19Therefore, after they had rowed about twenty-five or thirty stadia, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the boat, and they were afraid.20But he said to them, "It is I; do not be afraid."21Therefore they wanted to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land to which they were going.22The next day the crowd that stood on the other side of the sea saw that there had been no other small boat there except one, and that Jesus had not entered the boat with his disciples, but his disciples had gone away alone.23But other small boats came from Tiberias near the place where they ate the bread after the Lord gave thanks.24When therefore the crowd saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they themselves climbed into the small boats and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.
