²²Immediately ⁿHe ^omade the disciples get into the boat and go ahead of Him to the other side, while He dismissed the crowds. ²³After dismissing the crowds, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. When evening came, He was there alone. ^p²⁴But the boat was already over a mile ^qfrom land, ^rbattered by the waves, because the wind was against them. ²⁵Around three in the morning, ^sHe came toward them walking on the sea. ^t²⁶When the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost!” they said, and cried out in fear.

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

²⁸“Lord, if it’s You,” Peter answered Him, “command me to come to You on the water.”

²⁹“Come!” He said.

And climbing out of the boat, Peter started walking on the water and came toward Jesus. ³⁰But when he saw the strength of the wind, ^vhe was afraid. And beginning to sink he cried out, “Lord, save me!”

³¹Immediately Jesus reached out His hand, caught hold of him, and said to him, “You of little faith, why did you doubt?” ^w³²When they got into the boat, the wind ceased.
