SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 6:16–21: Jesus walked on the water of Lake Galilee

In this brief section the disciples saw Jesus walking on the surface of Lake Galilee. See the parallel passages in Matthew 14:22–27 and Mark 6:45–52.

Here are other possible titles for this section:

Jesus walked on water

Jesus walked to his disciples on the water

Paragraph 6:16–18

This paragraph sets the scene for Jesus’ miracle of walking on the water.

6:16

When evening came, His disciples went down to the sea,

¶ Toward night, Jesus’ disciples went down to the lake,
¶ After it started to get dark, Jesus’ followers walked to the lake of Galilee.

When evening came: This refers to the late afternoon, before it got completely dark. Here are other ways to translate this clause:

That evening (CEV)

In the evening (NCV)

Late in the day

His disciples went down to the sea: The Sea of Galilee is fresh water. So it may be natural to refer to it as a lake, and to name the lake. For example:

his disciples went down to Lake Galilee

Also, in many languages it may be natural to refer explicitly to Jesus. For example:

Jesus’ disciples went down to the lake. (GNT)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-newevent

This is the next event in the story. Jesus’ disciples go out onto the Sea of Galilee in a boat.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὴν θάλασσαν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὡς Δέ ὀψία ἐγένετο κατέβησαν οἱ μαθηταί αὐτοῦ ἐπί τήν θάλασσαν)

Here and throughout this chapter, sea refers to the Sea of Galilee. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning explicitly, as modeled by UST.
