Jesus Walks on the Water

15 So Jesus, perceiving that they were (a)intending to come and take Him by force (A)to make Him king, (B)withdrew again to (C)the mountain by Himself alone.
16 Now when evening came, His (D)disciples went down to the sea, 17 and after getting into a boat, they started to cross the sea (E)to Capernaum. It had already become dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them. 18 The sea began to be stirred up because a strong wind was blowing. 19 Then, when they had rowed about (b)three or four miles, they *saw Jesus walking on the sea and drawing near to the boat; and they were frightened. 20 But He *said to them, “It is I; (c)(F)do not be afraid.” 21 So they were willing to receive Him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land to which they were going.
