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!”

³⁴They crossed over the lake and landed at Gennesaret. ³⁵The men who lived there recognized Jesus. So they sent a message all over the nearby countryside. People brought all their sick to Jesus. ³⁶They begged him to let those who were sick just touch the edge of his clothes. And all who touched him were healed.
