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.
And when they had climbed back into the boat,
After they went over and climbed into the boat,
Then they went to the boat and stepped into it. After stepping in,
when they had climbed back into the boat: This clause refers to Jesus and Peter stepping up into the boat. The action of going to the boat is implied. Jesus and Peter were likely only a few meters from the boat. In some languages, it may be natural to include this implied information. For example:
when they went over to the boat and stepped in
Then they went to the boat. After they entered/stepped into it
the wind died down.
the wind stopped blowing.
the wind became calm.
the wind died down: This clause refers to the wind no longer blowing. As a result, the lake became calm.
Here are some other ways to translate this clause:
the wind stopped blowing
the wind became calm (NCV)

˱of˲_them
The pronoun they refers to Jesus and Peter. If this is not clear for your readers, you could refer to them more directly. Alternate translation: [the two of them]
14:22-33 Jesus’ power over nature presented the disciples with the opportunity to trust in him as the Son of God (14:33; see also 8:23-27; Ps 8:6; Heb 2:8-9).
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
