Now when evening came, His ^(C1)disciples went down to the sea,

and after getting into a boat, they started to cross the sea ^(C1)to Capernaum. It had already become dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them.

In addition, the sea began getting rough, because a strong wind was blowing.

Then, when they had rowed about ^(F1)twenty-five or thirty stadia, they ^(*)saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the boat; and they were frightened.

But He ^(*)said to them, "It is I; ^(F1)(C1)do not be afraid."

So they were willing to take Him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land to which they were going.

The next day ^(C1)the crowd that stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other small boat there except one, and that Jesus ^(C2)had not gotten into the boat with His disciples, but that His disciples had departed alone.

Other small boats came from ^(C1)Tiberias near to the place where they ate the bread after the ^(C2)Lord ^(C3)had given thanks.

So when the crowd saw that Jesus was not there, nor His disciples, they themselves got into the small boats and ^(C1)came to Capernaum, looking for Jesus.
