16. That evening Jesus’ followers went down to the lake.
17. It was dark now, and Jesus had not yet come back to them. They got into a boat and started going across the lake to Capernaum.
18. The wind was blowing very hard. The waves on the lake were becoming bigger.
19. They rowed the boat about three or four miles. Then they saw Jesus. He was walking on the water, coming to the boat. They were afraid.
20. But he said to them, “Don’t be afraid. It’s me.”
21. When he said this, they were glad to take him into the boat. And then the boat reached the shore at the place they wanted to go.
22. The next day came. Some people had stayed on the other side of the lake. They knew that Jesus did not go with his followers in the boat. They knew that the followers had left in the boat alone. And they knew it was the only boat that was there.
