18 and the sea was getting rough, because a strong wind was blowing.

John 6:18 Meaning and Commentary

John 6:18

And the sea arose
Swelled, and was tumultuous and raging; the waves mounted up, and tossed the ship to and fro:

by reason of a great wind that blew;
which agitated the waters of the sea, and lifted up the waves; which storm seems to have arose after they had set sail, and were got into the midst of the sea.

John 6:18 In-Context

16 When evening came, his talmidim went down to the lake,

17 got into a boat and set out across the lake toward K'far-Nachum. By now it was dark, Yeshua had not yet joined them,

18 and the sea was getting rough, because a strong wind was blowing.

19 They had rowed three or four miles when they saw Yeshua approaching the boat, walking on the lake! They were terrified;

20 but he said to them, "Stop being afraid, it is I."
