Matthew 14
22 Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead
of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd.
23 After he had
dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. When
evening came, he was there alone,
24 but the boat was already a considerable
distance from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against
it.
25 During the fourth watch of the night Jesus went out to them, walking
on the lake.
26 When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were
terrified. "It's a ghost," they said, and cried out in fear.
27 But Jesus immediately said to them: "Take courage! It is I. Don't
be afraid."
28 "Lord, if it's you," Peter replied, "tell me to come
to you on the water."
29"Come," he said.
30 Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward
Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink,
cried out, "Lord, save me!"
31 Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. "You of
little faith," he said, "why did you doubt?"
32 And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down.
33 Then those
who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, "Truly you are the Son
of God."
34 When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret.
35 And when the
men of that place recognized Jesus, they sent word to all the surrounding
country. People brought all their sick to him
36 and begged him to let
the sick just touch the edge of his cloak, and all who touched him were
healed.
