²⁵ In the fourth watch of the night,{The night was equally divided into four watches, so the fourth watch is approximately 3:00 A. M. to sunrise.} Jesus came to them, walking on the sea.

⁸ Who alone stretches out the heavens, Treads on the waves of the sea;

⁴³ But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch of the night the thief was coming, he would have watched, and would not have allowed his house to be broken into.

⁸ The voice which I heard from heaven, again speaking with me, said, "Go, take the book which is open in the hand of the angel who stands on the sea and on the land."

⁵ The angel who I saw standing on the sea and on the land lifted up his right hand to the sky,

² He had in his hand a little open book. He set his right foot on the sea, and his left on the land.

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.

³⁸ They will be blessed if he comes in the second or third watch, and finds them so.

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,

³ He lays the beams of his chambers in the waters. He makes the clouds his chariot. He walks on the wings of the wind.

³ The floods have lifted up, Yahweh, The floods have lifted up their voice. The floods lift up their waves.

⁴ Above the voices of many waters, The mighty breakers of the sea, Yahweh on high is mighty.
