When they had rowed three or three and a half miles, they saw Jesus approaching the boat, walking on the water; and they were terrified.

Then, when they had rowed about three or four miles, they *saw Jesus walking on the sea and drawing near to the boat; and they were frightened.

They were three or four miles out when suddenly they saw Jesus walking on the water toward the boat. They were terrified,

They were maybe three or four miles out when they saw Jesus walking on the sea, quite near the boat. They were scared senseless,

When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the boat, and they were terrified.

So when they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and drawing near the boat; and they were afraid.
