²²Immediately Jesus told his followers to get into the boat and go ahead of him across the lake. He stayed there to send the people home. ²³After he had sent them away, he went by himself up into the hills to pray. It was late, and Jesus was there alone. ²⁴By this time, the boat was already far away from land. It was being hit by waves, because the wind was blowing against it.

²⁵Between three and six o’clock in the morning, Jesus came to them, walking on the water. ²⁶When his followers saw him walking on the water, they were afraid. They said, “It’s a ghost!” and cried out in fear.

²⁷But Jesus quickly spoke to them, “Have courage! It is I. Do not be afraid.”

²⁸Peter said, “Lord, if it is really you, then command me to come to you on the water.”

²⁹Jesus said, “Come.”

And Peter left the boat and walked on the water to Jesus. ³⁰But when Peter saw the wind and the waves, he became afraid and began to sink. He shouted, “Lord, save me!”

³¹Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught Peter. Jesus said, “Your faith is small. Why did you doubt?”

³²After they got into the boat, the wind became calm. ³³Then those who were in the boat worshiped Jesus and said, “Truly you are the Son of God!”

³⁴When they had crossed the lake, they came to shore at Gennesaret. ³⁵When the people there recognized Jesus, they told people all around there that Jesus had come, and they brought all their sick to him. ³⁶They begged Jesus to let them touch just the edge of his coat, and all who touched it were healed.
