15. Jesus, knowing that they intended to come and make him king by force, withdrew again to a mountain by himself.
16. When evening came, his disciples went down to the lake,
17. where they got into a boat and set off across the lake for Capernaum. By now it was dark, and Jesus had not yet joined them.
18. A strong wind was blowing and the waters grew rough.
19. When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus approaching the boat, walking on the water; and they were frightened.
20. But he said to them, ‘It is I; don’t be afraid.’
21. Then they were willing to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat reached the shore where they were heading.
