Summary: As darkness fell, Jesus' followers set out for Capernaum by boat without Him. Facing rough seas and strong winds, they became frightened upon seeing Jesus walking on water towards them. He calmed their fears, and upon their willingness to bring Him aboard, they miraculously found themselves immediately at their destination.
When it was evening, the disciples of Jesus went down to the sea, embarked in a boat, and went across the sea to Capernaum. It had already grown dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them. The sea was stirred up because a strong wind was blowing. When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the boat, and they began to be afraid.
But he said to them, “It is I. Do not be afraid.”
They wanted to take him into the boat, but the boat immediately arrived at the shore to which they were heading.
