New Living Translation (NLT)

John 6
¹⁴ When the people saw him do this miraculous sign, they exclaimed, “Surely, he is the Prophet we have been expecting!”
¹⁵ When Jesus saw that they were ready to force him to be their king, he slipped away into the hills by himself.
¹⁶ That evening Jesus’ disciples went down to the shore to wait for him.
¹⁷ But as darkness fell and Jesus still hadn’t come back, they got into the boat and headed across the lake toward Capernaum.
¹⁸ Soon a gale swept down upon them, and the sea grew very rough.
¹⁹ They had rowed three or four miles when suddenly they saw Jesus walking on the water toward the boat. They were terrified,
²⁰ but he called out to them, “Don’t be afraid. I am here!”
²¹ Then they were eager to let him in the boat, and immediately they arrived at their destination!
²² The next day the crowd that had stayed on the far shore saw that the disciples had taken the only boat, and they realized Jesus had not gone with them.
²³ Several boats from Tiberias landed near the place where the Lord had blessed the bread and the people had eaten.
²⁴ So when the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they got into the boats and went across to Capernaum to look for him.
