John 6:15-25 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

15. And so, when he realized that they were going to come and take him away and make him king, Jesus fled back to the mountain, by himself alone.

16. Then, when evening arrived, his disciples descended to the sea.

17. And when they had climbed into a boat, they went across the sea to Capernaum. And darkness had now arrived, and Jesus had not returned to them.

18. Then the sea was stirred up by a great wind that was blowing.

19. And so, when they had rowed about twenty-five or thirty stadia, they saw Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing near to the boat, and they were afraid.

20. But he said to them: "It is I. Do not be afraid."

21. Therefore, they were willing to receive him into the boat. But immediately the boat was at the land to which they were going.

22. On the next day, the crowd which was standing across the sea saw that there were no other small boats in that place, except one, and that Jesus had not entered into the boat with his disciples, but that his disciples had departed alone.

23. Yet truly, other boats came over from Tiberias, next to the place where they had eaten the bread after the Lord gave thanks.

24. Therefore, when the crowd had seen that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they climbed into the small boats, and they went to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.

25. And when they had found him across the sea, they said to him, "Rabbi, when did you come here?"
