John 6:16–20 · Berean Standard Bible

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

17 got into a boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum. It was already dark, and Jesus had not yet gone out to them.

18 A strong wind was blowing, and the sea grew agitated.

19 When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus approaching the boat, walking on the sea—and they were terrified.

20 But Jesus spoke up: “It is I; do not be afraid.”
