Jesus Walks on the Water

22Right away Jesus made the disciples get into the boat. He had them go on ahead of him to the other side of the Sea of Galilee. Then he sent the crowd away. 23After he had sent them away, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone. 24The boat was already a long way from land. It was being pounded by the waves because the wind was blowing against it.

25Early in the morning, Jesus went out to the disciples. He walked on the lake. 26They saw him walking on the lake and were terrified. “It’s a ghost!” they said. And they cried out in fear.

27Right away Jesus called out to them, “Be brave! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”

28“Lord, is it you?” Peter asked. “If it is, tell me to come to you on the water.”

29“Come,” Jesus said.

So Peter got out of the boat. He walked on the water toward Jesus. 30But when Peter saw the wind, he was afraid. He began to sink. He cried out, “Lord! Save me!”

31Right away Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “Your faith is so small!” he said. “Why did you doubt me?”

32When they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. 33Then those in the boat worshiped Jesus. They said, “You really are the Son of God!”
