Matthew 14:22–36

Jesus Walks on the Water

^22lImmediately he ^mmade the disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowds. ²³And after he had dismissed the crowds, ⁿhe went up on the mountain by himself to pray. When ^oevening came, he was there alone, ²⁴but the boat by this time was a long way² from the land,³ beaten by the waves, for the wind was against them. ²⁵And ^lin the fourth watch of the night⁴ he came to them, walking on the sea. ²⁶But when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, ^pthey were terrified, and said, “It is a ghost!” and they cried out in fear. ²⁷But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, ^q“Take heart; it is I. ^qDo not be afraid.”

²⁸And Peter answered him, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.” ²⁹He said, “Come.” So Peter got out of the boat and ^rwalked on the water and came to Jesus. ³⁰But when he saw the wind,⁵ he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, ^s“Lord, save me.” ³¹Jesus immediately reached out his hand and took hold of him, saying to him, ^t“O you of little faith, why did you ^udoubt?” ³²And when they got into the boat, ^sthe wind ceased. ³³And ^vthose in the boat ^wworshiped him, saying, ^x“Truly you are ^ythe Son of God.”

And ^das many as touched it were made well.
