John 6:16-21

The Fifth Sign: Walking on Water

16 When evening came, His disciples went down to the sea,
17 got into a boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum. Darkness had already set in, but Jesus had not yet come to them.
18 Then a high wind arose, and the sea began to churn.
19 After they had rowed about three or four miles,[a] they saw Jesus walking on the sea. He was coming near the boat, and they were afraid.
20 But He said to them, "It is I. [b] Don't be afraid!"
21 Then they were willing to take Him on board, and at once the boat was at the shore where they were heading.
