THE MESSAGE
In the evening his disciples went down to the sea, got in the boat, and headed back across the water to Capernaum. It had grown quite dark and Jesus had not yet returned. A huge wind blew up, churning the sea. They were maybe three or four miles out when they saw Jesus walking on the sea, quite near the boat. They were scared senseless, but he reassured them, "It's me. It's all right. Don't be afraid." So they took him on board. In no time they reached land—the exact spot they were headed to.

Contextual Overview
15 But when Jeshu knew that they were about to come to seize him and make him the King, he passed away to a mountain alone. 16 AND when it was eventide, his disciples went down to the sea. 17 And they sat in a vessel, and went over for Kapher-nachum. And it was dark, and Jeshu had not come to them. 18 But the sea had risen against them, because a great wind blew. 19 And they had led stadia twentyfive or thirty, and they saw Jeshu walking upon the sea, and drawing nigh to the vessel; and they feared. 20 But Jeshu himself said to them, I am, fear not. 21 21 And they willed to receive him into the vessel, and soon [fn] that vessel was at that land to which they were going.

Luke 13:25
From the hour that the Lord of the house shall have risen up and have shut the door, you may stand without, knocking at the door, and may begin to say, Our Lord, our Lord, open to us ! But he will answer and say, I tell you that I know not whence you are.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And when even was [now] come,.... The last of the evenings, when night was coming on; for the first of the evenings took place before they sat down to eat, when the above miracle was wrought; see Matthew 14:15.
His disciples went down unto the sea; of Galilee, or Tiberias, to the sea side; and this was by the order, and even constraint of Christ, who would have them go before him, that he might be clear of the multitude, and have an opportunity for solitary prayer,
Matthew 14:15- : Matthew 14:15- :.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
See this miracle of walking on the sea explained in the notes at Matthew 14:22-33. Compare Mark 6:45-52.
John 6:21
Immediately - Quickly. Before a long time. How far they were from the land we know not, but there is no evidence that there was a miracle in the case. The word translated âimmediatelyâ does not of necessity imply that there was no interval of time, but that there was not a long interval. Thus, in Matthew 13:5, in the parable of the sower, âand immediately (the same word in Greek) they sprung up,â etc., Mark 4:17; Matthew 24:29; 3 John 1:14.
