So then, it coming to be late in the evening, He was there alone.

So then, it coming to be late in the evening, He was there alone. ²⁴ Now the little boat, already many hundreds of yards (i.e., many stadia) away from land, was continuing distant in the midst of the lake (or: sea), continuously being tried – as with a touchstone to test its metal (and thus, its mettle) – [thus, pounded] by and under the waves, for the wind was continuing against [them] (i.e., it was adverse and contrary). ²⁵ Yet during the fourth watch period of the night (about three o'clock in the morning), He came toward (or: to) them – continuing in walking upon the lake (or: sea).
