got into a boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum. Darkness had already set in, but Jesus had not yet come to them.

After they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea. He was coming near the boat, and they were afraid.

Then they were willing to take Him on board, and at once the boat was at the shore where they were heading.

The next day, the crowd that had stayed on the other side of the sea knew there had been only one boat. They also knew that Jesus had not boarded the boat with His disciples, but that His disciples had gone off alone.

“I’m going fishing,” Simon Peter said to them.

“We’re coming with you,” they told him. They went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.

“Cast the net on the right side of the boat,” He told them, “and you’ll find some.” So they did, and they were unable to haul it in because of the large number of fish.

But since they were not far from land (about 100 yards away), the other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net full of fish.
