John 6:15-23 Modern English Version (MEV)

15. Therefore, knowing that they would come and take Him by force to make Him king, Jesus departed again to a mountain by Himself alone.

16. Now when evening came, His disciples went down to the sea.

17. They got into a boat and went across the sea toward Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not come to them.

18. The sea was stirred up because a strong wind was blowing.

19. So when they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the boat. And they were afraid.

20. But He said to them, “It is I. Do not be afraid.”

21. Then they gladly received Him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land to which they were going.

22. The following day the people who stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, except the one which His disciples had entered, and that Jesus had not entered the boat with His disciples, but that His disciples had gone away alone.

23. However, other boats came from Tiberias near the place where they ate bread when the Lord had given thanks.
