Matthew 14:22-24

Walking on Water

14:22 Immediately Jesus ¹  made the disciples get into the boat and go ahead of him to the other side, while he dispersed the crowds. 14:23 And after he sent the crowds away, he went up the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone. 14:24 Meanwhile the boat, already far from land, ²  was taking a beating from the waves because the wind was against it.

[14:22]  ¹ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[14:24]  ² tn Grk “The boat was already many stades from the land.” A stade (στάδιον, stadion) was a unit of distance about 607 feet (187 meters) long.
