16 When evening came, Jesus' disciples went down to the lake,
17 got into a boat, and went back across the lake toward Capernaum. Night came on, and Jesus still had not come to them.
18 By then a strong wind was blowing and stirring up the water.
19 The disciples had rowed about three or four miles when they saw Jesus walking on the water, coming near the boat, and they were terrified.
20 “Don't be afraid,” Jesus told them, “it is I!”
21 Then they willingly took him into the boat, and immediately the boat reached land at the place they were heading for.
22 Next day the crowd which had stayed on the other side of the lake realized that there had been only one boat there. They knew that Jesus had not gone in it with his disciples, but that they had left without him.
