15
When Jesus realized that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, he withdrew again to the mountain by himself.
16
When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea,
17
got into a boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them.
18
The sea became rough because a strong wind was blowing.
19
When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the boat, and they were terrified.
20
But he said to them, "It is I; do not be afraid."
21
Then they wanted to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat reached the land toward which they were going.
22
The next day the crowd that had stayed on the other side of the sea saw that there had been only one boat there. They also saw that Jesus had not got into the boat with his disciples, but that his disciples had gone away alone.
23
Then some boats from Tiberias came near the place where they had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks.
24
So when the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they themselves got into the boats and went to Capernaum looking for Jesus.
25
When they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, "Rabbi, when did you come here?"
