Walking on Water

14:22 Immediately Jesus22 made the disciples get into the boat and go ahead of him to the other side, while he dispersed the crowds. 14:23 And after he sent the crowds away, he went up the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone. 14:24 Meanwhile the boat, already far from land,23 was taking a beating from the waves because the wind was against it. 14:25 As the night was ending,24 Jesus came to them walking on the sea.25 14:26 When26 the disciples saw him walking on the water27 they were terrified and said, “It’s a ghost!” and cried out with fear. 14:27 But immediately Jesus28 spoke to them:29 “Have courage! It is I. Do not be afraid.” 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.
