Had rowed

“Your rowers have brought you
Into great and deep waters;
The east wind has broken and shipwrecked you
In the heart of the seas.

Nevertheless, the men rowed hard [breaking through the waves] to return to land, but they could not, because the sea became even more violent [surging higher] against them.

Now when evening had come, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and Jesus was alone on the land.

Furlongs

Bethany was near Jerusalem, about two miles away;

And then, that very day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, which was about seven miles from Jerusalem.

And the grapes in the wine press were trampled and crushed outside the city, and blood poured from the wine press, reaching up to the horses’ bridles, for a distance of sixteen hundred stadia.

The city is laid out as a square, its length being the same as its width; and he measured the city with his rod—twelve thousand stadia (about 1,400 miles); its length and width and height are equal.

Walking

“I will not leave you as orphans [comfortless, bereaved, and helpless]; I will come [back] to you.

Who alone stretches out the heavens
And tramples down the waves of the sea;

The Lord sat as King at the flood;
Yes, the Lord sits as King forever.

More than the sounds of many waters,
More than the mighty breakers of the sea,
The Lord on high is mighty.

And in the fourth watch of the night (3:00-6:00 a.m.) Jesus came to them, walking on the sea.

But when they saw Him walking on the sea, they thought it was a ghost, and cried out [in horror];

While they were talking about this, Jesus Himself [suddenly] stood among them and said to them, “Peace be to you.”
