John 6:17
Verse 17 of 71. The 6th of 21 chapters in John, in The Gospels.
13So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with broken pieces from the five barley loaves, which were left over by those who had eaten.
14When therefore the people saw the sign which Jesus did, they said, “This is truly the prophet who comes into the world.”
15Jesus therefore, perceiving that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, withdrew again to the mountain by himself.
16When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea.
17They entered into the boat, and were going over the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not come to them.
18The sea was tossed by a great wind blowing.
19When therefore they had rowed about twenty-five or thirty stadia, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and drawing near to the boat; and they were afraid.
20But he said to them, “It is I. Don’t be afraid.”
21They were willing therefore to receive him into the boat. Immediately the boat was at the land where they were going.
