^(C1)And immediately Jesus had His disciples get into ^(C2)the boat and go ahead of Him to the other side, to ^(C3)Bethsaida, while He Himself ^(*)dismissed the crowd.

And after ^(C1)saying goodbye to them, He left ^(C2)for the mountain to pray.

When it was evening, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and He was alone on the land.

Seeing them ^(F1)straining at the oars—for the wind was against them—at about the ^(F2)(C1)fourth watch of the night, He ^(*)came to them, walking on the sea; and He intended to pass by them.

But when they saw Him walking on the sea, they thought that it was a ghost, and they cried out;

for they all saw Him and were ^(F1)terrified. But immediately He spoke with them and ^(*)said to them, "^(C1)Take courage; it is I, ^(C2)do not be afraid."

Then He got into ^(C1)the boat with them, and the wind stopped; and they were utterly astonished,

for ^(C1)they ^(F1)had not gained any insight from the incident of the loaves, but ^(F2)their hearts ^(C2)were hardened.
