Slovenčina In John 6:16–21, the narrative follows the miracle of the feeding of the 5,000. This passage describes an event where Jesus' disciples go down to the Sea of Galilee, board a boat, and start crossing over to Capernaum. It is evening, and Jesus has not yet joined them. As they are crossing, the sea becomes rough due to a strong wind. When they had rowed about three or four miles, they see Jesus walking on the sea, approaching the boat, and they are terrified. But He says to them, "It is I; do not be afraid." (ἐγώ εἰμι· μὴ φοβεῖσθε) Then they willingly take Him into the boat, and immediately the boat reaches the shore where they were heading.

Biblical text
6:16Ὡς δὲ ὀψία ἐγένετο, κατέβησαν οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὴν θάλασσαν,17καὶ ἐμβάντες εἰς πλοῖον ἤρχοντο πέραν τῆς θαλάσσης εἰς Καφαρναούμ. καὶ σκοτία ἤδη ἐγεγόνει καὶ οὔπω ἐληλύθει πρὸς αὐτοὺς ὁ Ἰησοῦς,18ἥ τε θάλασσα ἀνέμου μεγάλου πνέοντος διεγείρετο.19ἐληλακότες οὖν ὡς σταδίους εἴκοσι πέντε ἢ τριάκοντα θεωροῦσιν τὸν Ἰησοῦν περιπατοῦντα ἐπὶ τῆς θαλάσσης καὶ ἐγγὺς τοῦ πλοίου γινόμενον, καὶ ἐφοβήθησαν.20ὁ δὲ λέγει αὐτοῖς Ἐγώ εἰμι, μὴ φοβεῖσθε.21ἤθελον οὖν λαβεῖν αὐτὸν εἰς τὸ πλοῖον, καὶ εὐθέως ἐγένετο τὸ πλοῖον ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς εἰς ἣν ὑπῆγον.
