Matthew 14:28–36

14:28 Peter30 said to him,31 “Lord, if it is you, order me to come to you on the water.” 14:29 So he said, “Come.” Peter got out of the boat, walked on the water, and came toward Jesus. 14:30 But when he saw the strong wind he became afraid. And starting to sink, he cried out,32 “Lord, save me!” 14:31 Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him, saying to him, “You of little faith, why did you doubt?” 14:32 When they went up into the boat, the wind ceased. 14:33 Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.”

14:34 After they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret.33 14:35 When the people34 there recognized him, they sent word into all the surrounding area, and they brought all their sick to him. 14:36 They begged him if35 they could only touch the edge of his cloak, and all who touched it were healed.
