²² Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat, and to go ahead of him to the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.

⁴⁵ Immediately he made his disciples get into the boat, and to go ahead to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he himself sent the multitude away.

⁴⁶ After he had taken leave of them, he went up the mountain to pray.

⁴⁷ When evening had come, the boat was in the midst of the sea, and he was alone on the land.

⁴⁸ Seeing them distressed in rowing, for the wind was contrary to them, about the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea, and he would have passed by them,

⁴⁹ but they, when they saw him walking on the sea, supposed that it was a ghost, and cried out;

⁵⁰ for they all saw him, and were troubled. But he immediately spoke with them, and said to them, "Cheer up! It is I!{Literally, "I AM!"} Don't be afraid."

⁵¹ He got into the boat with them; and the wind ceased, and they were very amazed among themselves, and marveled;

¹⁵ Jesus therefore, perceiving that they were about to come and take him by force, to make him king, withdrew again to the mountain by himself.

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

¹⁷ and they entered into the boat, and were going over the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not come to them.

¹⁸ The sea was tossed by a great wind blowing.

¹⁹ When therefore they had rowed about twenty-five or thirty stadia,{25 to 30 stadia is about 5 to 6 kilometers or about 3 to 4 miles} they saw Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing near to the boat; and they were afraid.

²⁰ But he said to them, "I AM. Don't be afraid."

²¹ They were willing therefore to receive him into the boat. Immediately the boat was at the land where they were going.

³⁹ Then he sent away the multitudes, got into the boat, and came into the borders of Magdala.

³⁶ Then Jesus sent the multitudes away, and went into the house. His disciples came to him, saying, "Explain to us the parable of the darnel of the field."
