Walking on Water




1,2,4AS EVENING FELL 4His disciples had gone down to the sea, boarded the boat, and started to sail across to Capernaum. By now it was dark and Jesus had not yet joined them. Then a strong wind began blowing, and the sea became rough.


1,2Jesus, alone on the land, 2saw them straining at their oars. The boat was now in the middle of the sea and 1was being pounded by waves whipped up by the wind, 1,2which was blowing against them. In the fourth watch of the night, 4after they had rowed between three and four miles, 1Jesus walked toward them on the sea.
