Gospel text (John 6,16-21): When evening came, the
disciples went down to the shore. After a while they got into a boat to make
for Capernaum on the other side of the sea, for it was now dark and Jesus had
not yet come to them. But the sea was getting rough because a strong wind was
blowing. They had rowed about three or four miles, when they saw Jesus walking
on the sea, and he was drawing near to the boat. They were frightened, but He
said to them, «It is Me; don't be afraid». They wanted to take him into the
boat, but immediately the boat was at the shore to which they were going.
