Jesus Walks on the Water

45 And immediately he made his disciples get into the boat and go on ahead to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he himself dismissed the crowd. 46 And after he[fn] had said farewell to them, he went away to the mountain to pray. 47 And when[fn] evening came, the boat was in the middle of the sea and he was alone on the land. 48 And he saw them being beaten in their rowing[fn] because the wind was against them. Around the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea, and he was wanting to pass by them. 49 But when[fn] they saw him walking on the sea, they thought that it was a ghost, and they cried out. 50 For they all saw him and were terrified. But immediately he spoke with them and said to them, “Have courage, I am he! Do not be afraid!” 51 And he went up with them into the boat, and the wind abated. And they were extraordinarily[fn] astounded within themselves, 52 because they did not understand concerning the loaves, but their hearts were hardened.
