John 6:20 In-Context

18 A huge wind blew up, churning the sea.
19 They were maybe three or four miles out when they saw Jesus walking on the sea, quite near the boat. They were scared senseless,
20 but he reassured them, "It's me. It's all right. Don't be afraid."
21 So they took him on board. In no time they reached land - the exact spot they were headed to.
22 The next day the crowd that was left behind realized that there had been only one boat, and that Jesus had not gotten into it with his disciples. They had seen them go off without him.
