OET (OET-LV) And he said:
Come.
And Petros having_come_down from the boat, walked on the waters and came to the Yaʸsous.

OET (OET-RV) “Come!” he said. So Peter climbed over the back of the boat and started walking across the lake towards Yeshua,

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 14:22–36: Jesus walked on the water

In this section, Jesus showed that he has power over nature and sickness. When the disciples were in a boat during a storm, Jesus walked on the surface of the lake, and he calmed the storm. This caused the disciples to believe that Jesus was the Son of God, which was a title that the Jews used for the Christ. When they arrived at the shore, Jesus also healed many sick people.

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

Walking on Water (NET)

Jesus walks on top of water

Jesus showed his power over nature/creation

There are parallel passages for this section in Mark 6:45–56 and John 6:15–21.

14:29a

“Come,” said Jesus. Then Peter got down out of the boat,

Peter got down out of the boat: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as got down out of the boat probably indicates that Peter stepped down from the boat onto the water. If the direction is important in your language, you may want to follow the BSB which says got down out of the boat. If the direction down is not usual in this context, you should use your normal verb for getting out of a boat.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

Peter left the boat (NCV)

Peter went over the side of the boat (NLT)

Peter stepped over the side of the boat

14:29b

walked on the water, and came toward Jesus.

walked on the water, and came toward Jesus: This phrase indicates that Peter started walking on top of the water towards Jesus. He got near Jesus, but he did not arrive at the place where Jesus was. Verse 14:31a mentions that Jesus reached out and grabbed him, so Peter probably had walked far enough to be within arm’s reach of Jesus.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

walked on the water toward Jesus (GW)

started walking on the water toward him (CEV)

walked on the surface of the water to/toward Jesus

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations

εἶπεν, ἐλθέ

said (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ Δέ εἶπεν Ἐλθέ Καί καταβάς ἀπό τοῦ πλοίου Πέτρος περιεπάτησεν ἐπί τά ὕδατα καί ἦλθεν πρός τόν Ἰησοῦν)

It may be more natural in your language to have an indirect quotation here. Alternate translation with not quotation marks: [said that he should come]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / go

ἐλθέ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ Δέ εἶπεν Ἐλθέ Καί καταβάς ἀπό τοῦ πλοίου Πέτρος περιεπάτησεν ἐπί τά ὕδατα καί ἦλθεν πρός τόν Ἰησοῦν)

In a context such as this, your language might say “Go” instead of Come. Alternate translation: [Go]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

περιεπάτησεν ἐπὶ τὰ ὕδατα

walked (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ Δέ εἶπεν Ἐλθέ Καί καταβάς ἀπό τοῦ πλοίου Πέτρος περιεπάτησεν ἐπί τά ὕδατα καί ἦλθεν πρός τόν Ἰησοῦν)

Matthew means Peter walked miraculously over the surface of the water. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. See how you translated the similar phrase in [14:28](../14/28.md). Alternate translation: [walked on the surface of the water] or [walked miraculously upon the water]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / go

ἐλθεῖν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ Δέ εἶπεν Ἐλθέ Καί καταβάς ἀπό τοῦ πλοίου Πέτρος περιεπάτησεν ἐπί τά ὕδατα καί ἦλθεν πρός τόν Ἰησοῦν)

In a context such as this, your language might say “come” instead of go. Alternate translation: [to come]
