Yochanan 6:18

18 And the sea, as a great wind blew, was becoming aroused.

Yochanan 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.

Yochanan 6:18 In-Context

16 And as erev came, his talmidim went down to the sea.
17 And having embarked into a sirah, they were going across the sea to K’far-Nachum. And choshech already had come and Yehoshua had not yet come to them.
18 And the sea, as a great wind blew, was becoming aroused.
19 Therefore, having rowed about esrim v’chamash or sheloshim stadia, they see Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach walking on the sea and coming near the sirah, and they were gefeirlich (horribly) frightened. [IYOV 9:8]
20 But he says to them, Ani Hu. Do not be afraid.
