everyone was healed and satisfied. |

Jesus is the Son of
God.
"It is I" (v.27) denotes divinity (Is 41:4 and 43:10). Walking on
the water is also associated with God's action: "Who alone stretched
out the heavens and trampled the waves of the sea (Job 9:8; see also
Ex 14:13-31, Ps 77:20, Is 43:16, Hab 3:15). People, after seeing
Jesus' actions and power, also proclaim his divinity (v.33)
