"When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone. And when even was now come, his disciples went down unto the sea, And entered into a ship, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them. And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew. So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the ship: and they were afraid. But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid. Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went."
John's account of that day's events, as they are provided in this quote, does not exactly align with previous accounts of the same days events as they appear in the other accounts. This occurs on a few other occasions when one compares the wording of the four "gospels" (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John)
It should be noted that there are NO significant discrepancies in any of the four gospel accounts when those accounts are relating to eternal salvation or what is required of the lost in order to achieve it.
During the extent of these lessons we have already encountered a few minor inconsistencies and will, no doubt, find a few more.~
