Bible verse
A strong wind was blowing, and the sea grew agitated.
John 6:18 · BSB
The verses around it, from John 6.
14 When the people saw the sign that Jesus had performed, they began to say, “Truly this is the Prophet who is to come into the world.”
15 Then Jesus, realizing that they were about to come and make Him king by force, withdrew again to a mountain by Himself.
16 When evening came, His disciples went down to the sea,
17 got into a boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum. It was already dark, and Jesus had not yet gone out to them.
18 A strong wind was blowing, and the sea grew agitated.
19 When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus approaching the boat, walking on the sea—and they were terrified.
20 But Jesus spoke up: “It is I; do not be afraid.”
21 Then they were willing to take Him into the boat, and at once the boat reached the shore where they were heading.
22 The next day, the crowd that had remained on the other side of the sea realized that only one boat had been there, and that Jesus had not boarded it with His disciples, but they had gone away alone.
