WALKING ON THE WATER

22 Immediatelym heF made the disciples get into the boat and go ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowds. 23 After dismissing the crowds, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. Well into the night, he was there alone.n 24 Meanwhile, the boat was already some distanceG from land,H battered by the waves, because the wind was against them. 25 Jesus came toward them walking on the seao very early in the morning.l 26 When the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost!” they said, and they cried out in fear.

27 Immediately Jesus spoke to them. “Have courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”p
