Jesus Walks on the Water
22 For ver. 22-33, see Mark 6:45-51;John 6:15-21Immediately he [ch. 8:18]made the disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowds. 23 And after he had dismissed the crowds, Luke 6:12;9:28;[Mark 1:35;Luke 5:16] he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. When [Mark 13:35]evening came, he was there alone, 24 but the boat by this time was a long way14:24 Greek many stadia, a stadion was about 607 feet or 185 meters from the land,14:24 Some manuscripts was out on the sea beaten by the waves, for the wind was against them. 25 And [See ver. 22above]in the fourth watch of the night14:25 That is, between 3 a.m. and 6 a.m. he came to them, walking on the sea. 26 But when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, [Luke 24:37]they were terrified, and said, "It is a ghost!" and they cried out in fear. 27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, ch. 17:7;[Deut. 31:6;Isa. 41:13;43:1,2;John 16:33]"Take heart; it is I. ch. 17:7;[Deut. 31:6;Isa. 41:13;43:1,2;John 16:33]Do not be afraid."
