14. The people saw this miracle that Jesus did. They said, “He must truly be the Prophet who is coming into the world.”
15. Jesus knew that the people planned to come and take him by force and make him their king. So he left and went into the hills alone.
16. That evening Jesus’ followers went down to Lake Galilee.
17. It was dark now and Jesus had not yet come to them. The followers got into a boat and started across the lake to Capernaum.
18. By now a strong wind was blowing, and the waves on the lake were getting bigger.
19. They rowed the boat about three or four miles. Then they saw Jesus walking on the water, coming toward the boat. The followers were afraid.
