John 6:18

18 The Lake also was getting rough, because a strong wind was blowing.

John 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.

John 6:18 In-Context

16 When evening came on, His disciples went down to the Lake.

17 There they got on board a boat, and pushed off to cross the Lake to Capernaum. By this time it had become dark, and Jesus had not yet joined them.

18 The Lake also was getting rough, because a strong wind was blowing.

19 When, however, they had rowed three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the water and coming near the boat.

20 They were terrified; but He called to them. "It is I," He said, "do not be afraid."
