John 6:11-21

11 Jesus then took the loaves, and ¹having given thanks, He distributed to those who were seated; likewise also of the ²fish as much as they wanted.

12 When they were filled, He said to His ³disciples, "Gather up the leftover fragments so that nothing * will be lost."

13 So they gathered them up, and filled twelve ⁴baskets with fragments from the five barley loaves which were left over by those who had eaten.

14 Therefore when the people saw the sign which He had performed, they said, "This is truly the ⁵Prophet who is to come into the world."

15 So Jesus, perceiving that they were intending to come and take Him by force ⁶to make Him king, ⁷withdrew again to ⁸the mountain by Himself alone.

16 Now when evening came, His ⁹disciples went down to the sea,

17 and after getting into a boat, they started to cross the sea ¹⁰to Capernaum. It had already become dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them.

18 The sea began to be stirred up because a strong wind was blowing.

19 Then, when they had rowed about three * or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and drawing near to the boat; and they were frightened.

20 But He said to them, "It is I; ¹¹do not be afraid."

21 So they were willing to receive Him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land to which they were going.
