John 6:20 In-Context

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."
21 Then they were willing to take Him on board; and in a moment the boat reached the shore at the point to which they were going.
22 Next morning the crowd who were still standing about on the other side of the Lake found that there had been but one small boat there, and they had seen that Jesus did not go on board with His disciples, but that His disciples went away without Him.
