12. When they had plenty to eat, he said to his disciples, "Gather up the leftover pieces, so that nothing will be wasted."
13. So they gathered them and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves that had been left over by those who had eaten.
14. When the people saw that he had done a miraculous sign, they said, "This is truly the prophet who is coming into the world."
15. Jesus understood that they were about to come and force him to be their king, so he took refuge again, alone on a mountain.
16. When evening came, Jesus’ disciples went down to the lake.
17. They got into a boat and were crossing the lake to Capernaum. It was already getting dark and Jesus hadn’t come to them yet.
18. The water was getting rough because a strong wind was blowing.
19. When the wind had driven them out for about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the water. He was approaching the boat and they were afraid.
20. He said to them, "I Am. Don’t be afraid."
21. Then they wanted to take him into the boat, and just then the boat reached the land where they had been heading.
22. The next day the crowd that remained on the other side of the lake realized that only one boat had been there. They knew Jesus hadn’t gone with his disciples, but that the disciples had gone alone.
23. Some boats came from Tiberias, near the place where they had eaten the bread over which the Lord had given thanks.
