Jesus Walks on Water

22 Immediately Jesus compelled [fn]the disciples to get into [fn]the boat and go ahead of him to the other side of the sea, while he sent the crowds away. 23 After sending the crowds away, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone. 24 Meanwhile, the boat was already [fn]in the middle of the sea, being tossed by the waves, for the wind was against them. 25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus [fn]went to them, walking on the sea. 26 When the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were terrified and said, “It is a ghost!” And they cried out in fear. 27 But Jesus immediately said to them, “Take courage! It is I; do not be afraid.”

28 In response Peter said [fn]to him, “Lord, if it is yoʋ, command me to come to yoʋ on the water.” 29 So he said, “Come.” Then Peter got down from the boat and walked on the water [fn]to go to Jesus. 30 But when he saw the [fn]strong wind, he became frightened, and beginning to sink, he cried out, “Lord, save me!” 31 Immediately Jesus stretched out his hand, took hold of him, and said to him, “O yoʋ of little faith, why did yoʋ doubt?” 32 And when they had gotten into the boat, the wind ceased. 33 Then those who were in the boat [fn]came and worshiped him, saying, “Truly yoʋ are the Son of God.”
