OET (OET-LV) And in_the_fourth watch of_the night, he_came to them walking on the sea.

OET (OET-RV) In the early hours of the morning, Yeshua went out to them on the lake, walking on the surface.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 14:22–36: Jesus walked on the water

In this section, Jesus showed that he has power over nature and sickness. When the disciples were in a boat during a storm, Jesus walked on the surface of the lake, and he calmed the storm. This caused the disciples to believe that Jesus was the Son of God, which was a title that the Jews used for the Christ. When they arrived at the shore, Jesus also healed many sick people.

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

Walking on Water (NET)

Jesus walks on top of water

Jesus showed his power over nature/creation

There are parallel passages for this section in Mark 6:45–56 and John 6:15–21.

14:25a

During the fourth watch of the night,

During the fourth watch of the night: This phrase refers to the time between 3:00–6:00 a.m. This phrase comes from the work of soldiers who stand guard for three hours at a time during the night. The first soldiers begin at 6:00 pm.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

Between three and six o’clock in the morning (GNT)

A little while before morning (CEV)

Sometime before dawn

14:25b

Jesus went out to them, walking on the sea.

Jesus went out to them: Jesus approached the disciples who were in the boat. If people in your area will think that the pronoun them refers to the crowd, you may want to use the words “the disciples” instead.

walking on the sea: In this miracle, Jesus was walking on the surface of the water as if walking on dry ground.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

walking on the surface of the lake

walking on top of the water

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

δὲ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: τετάρτῃ Δέ φυλακῇ τῆς νυκτός ἦλθεν πρός αὐτούς περιπατῶν ἐπί τήν θάλασσαν)

Here, the word Now introduces the next thing that happened. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces the next event, or you could leave Now untranslated. Alternate translation: [Then,]

Note 2 topic: translate-unknown

τετάρτῃ & φυλακῇ τῆς νυκτὸς

˱in˲_˓the˒_fourth & watch ˱of˲_the (Some words not found in SR-GNT: τετάρτῃ Δέ φυλακῇ τῆς νυκτός ἦλθεν πρός αὐτούς περιπατῶν ἐπί τήν θάλασσαν)

Here, the phrase the fourth watch of the night refers to the period of time between 3:00 AM and 6:00 AM. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase that refers to this period of time. Alternate translation: [in the last part of the night] or [shortly before dawn]

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

αὐτοὺς

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: τετάρτῃ Δέ φυλακῇ τῆς νυκτός ἦλθεν πρός αὐτούς περιπατῶν ἐπί τήν θάλασσαν)

The pronoun them refers to the disciples. If this is not clear for your readers, you could refer to them more directly. Alternate translation: [the disciples]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

περιπατῶν ἐπὶ τὴν θάλασσαν

walking (Some words not found in SR-GNT: τετάρτῃ Δέ φυλακῇ τῆς νυκτός ἦλθεν πρός αὐτούς περιπατῶν ἐπί τήν θάλασσαν)

Matthew means that Jesus was miraculously walking on the surface of the sea. He did not sink into the water. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [walking on the surface of the sea] or [miraculously walking upon the sea]
