John 6:19-21

Expanded Bible

¹⁹ When they had rowed the boat about ·three or four miles [^Ltwenty-five or thirty stadia; ^Ca stadion was about 600 feet], they saw Jesus walking on the ·water [sea; lake], coming toward the boat. The ·followers [disciples] were afraid, ²⁰ but Jesus said to them, “It is I [or “I am”; ^Cthere could be an echo here of Ex. 3:14]. Do not be afraid.” ²¹ Then they ·were glad [or were willing] to take him into the boat. ·At once [Immediately] the boat came to land at the place where they wanted to go. [^CThe sea often stands for chaos, and God controls it.]
