Book of John Chapter 6 - Read Chapter 6:16 - [In Context ]That evening Jesus' followers went down to the lake (Lake Galilee).
6:17 - [In Context ]It was dark now and Jesus had not yet come back to them. The followers got into a boat and started going across the lake to Capernaum.
6:18 - [In Context ]The wind was blowing very hard. The waves on the lake were becoming bigger.
6:19 - [In Context ]They rowed the boat about three or four miles. Then they saw Jesus. He was walking on the water. He was coming to the boat. The followers were afraid.
6:20 - [In Context ]But Jesus said to them, "Don't be afraid. It's me."
6:21 - [In Context ]After Jesus said this, the followers were happy to take Jesus into the boat. Then the boat came to land at the place where they wanted to go.
6:22 - [In Context ]The next day came. Some people had stayed on the other side of the lake. These people knew that Jesus did not go with his followers in the boat. The people knew that Jesus' followers had left in the boat alone. And they knew that it was the only boat that was there.
6:23 - [In Context ]But then some boats from Tiberias came. The boats landed near the place where the people had eaten {the day before}. This was where they had eaten the bread after the Lord (Jesus) gave thanks.
6:24 - [In Context ]The people saw that Jesus and his followers were not there now. So the people got into the boats and went to Capernaum. They wanted to find Jesus.
