John 6:15-23 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

15. Jesus realized that they would try to force him to be their king. So he went up on a mountain, where he could be alone.

16. That evening, Jesus' disciples went down to the lake.

17. They got into a boat and set off for Capernaum. Later that evening Jesus had still not come to them,

18. and a strong wind was making the water rough.

19. When the disciples had rowed for five or six kilometres, they saw Jesus walking on the water. He kept coming closer to the boat, and they were terrified.

20. But he said, “I am Jesus! Don't be afraid!”

21. The disciples wanted to take him into the boat, but suddenly the boat reached the shore where they were headed.

22. The people who had stayed on the east side of the lake knew that only one boat had been there. They also knew that Jesus had not left in it with his disciples. But the next day

23. some boats from Tiberias sailed near the place where the crowd had eaten the bread for which the Lord had given thanks.
