Jesus Walks on the Water
45 1Immediately he
2made his disciples get into
3the boat and go before him to the other side,
4to Bethsaida, while he dismissed the crowd.
46
And after he had taken leave of them,
5he went up on the mountain to pray.
47
And when
6evening came, the boat was out on the sea, and he was alone on the land.
48
And he saw that they were making headway painfully, for the wind was against them. And about
7the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea.
8He meant to pass by them,
49
but when they saw him walking on the sea they thought it was a ghost, and cried out,
50
for they all saw him and
9were terrified. But immediately he spoke to them and said,
10"Take heart; it is I. 11Do not be afraid."
51
And he got into the boat with them, and the wind ceased. And they were utterly astounded,
52
for
12they did not understand about the loaves, but their hearts
13were hardened.
