John 6:18

18 A strong wind was blowing, and the water became rough.

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, Jesus' disciples went down to the Sea of Galilee.

17 There they got into a boat and headed across the lake toward Capernaum. By now it was dark. Jesus had not yet joined them.

18 A strong wind was blowing, and the water became rough.

19 They rowed three or three and a half miles. Then they saw Jesus coming toward the boat. He was walking on the water. They were terrified.

20 But he said to them, "It is I. Don't be afraid."
