47. When evening came, the boat was in the middle of the sea and he was alone on the land.

49. When they saw him walking on the water they thought he was a ghost. They cried out,

50. for they all saw him and were terrified. But immediately he spoke to them: “Have courage! It is I. Do not be afraid.”

51. Then he went up with them into the boat, and the wind ceased. They were completely astonished,

52. because they did not understand about the loaves, but their hearts were hardened.

53. After they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret and anchored there.

54. As they got out of the boat, people immediately recognized Jesus.
