Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus had not come to them;
(18)and as a strong wind was blowing, the sea began to rise. (19)When
therefore they had rowed about twenty-five or thirty furlongs, they
see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing near to the ship; and they
were afraid. (20)But he says to them: It is I, be not afraid. (21)They
therefore willingly received him into the ship; and immediately the
ship was at the land whither they were going.
(22)On the morrow, the multitude that stood on the other side of the
sea, seeing that there was no other boat there but one, and that Jesus
went not with his disciples into the ship, but his disciples went away
alone (23)(but there came other boats from Tiberias near to the place
where they ate bread, when the Lord had given thanks); (24)when
therefore the multitude saw that Jesus was not there, nor his
disciples, they themselves entered into the boats, and came to
Capernaum, seeking for Jesus. (25)And having found him on the other

written: He gave them bread from heaven to eat. (32)Jesus therefore
said to them: Verily, verily, I say to you, Moses has not given you
