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.

20. But He said to them, “It is I. Don’t be afraid! ”

21. Then they were willing to take Him on board, and at once the boat was at the shore where they were heading.

22. The next day, the crowd that had stayed on the other side of the sea knew there had been only one boat. They also knew that Jesus had not boarded the boat with His disciples, but that His disciples had gone off alone.
