John 6:11-19 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

11. Then Jesus took the loaves, and after giving thanks He distributed them to those who were seated — so also with the fish, as much as they wanted.

12. When they were full, He told His disciples, “Collect the leftovers so that nothing is wasted.”

13. So they collected them and filled 12 baskets with the pieces from the five barley loaves that were left over by those who had eaten.

14. When the people saw the sign He had done, they said, “This really is the Prophet who was to come into the world! ”

15. Therefore, when Jesus knew that they were about to come and take Him by force to make Him king, He withdrew again to the mountain by Himself.

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

17. got into a boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum. Darkness had already set in, but Jesus had not yet come to them.

18. Then a high wind arose, and the sea began to churn.

19. After they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea. He was coming near the boat, and they were afraid.
