Jesus Walks on the Sea

Matthew 14

Matthew14:22 And Jesus promptly compelled his disciples to climb into the boat, and to precede him in crossing the sea, while he dismissed the crowds.

Matthew14:23 And having dismissed the multitude, he ascended alone onto a mountain to pray. And when evening arrived, he was alone there.

Matthew14:24 But in the midst of the sea, the boat was being tossed about by the waves. For the wind was against them.

Matthew14:25 Then, in the fourth watch of the night, he came to them, walking upon the sea.

Matthew14:26 And seeing him walking upon the sea, they were disturbed, saying: “It must be an apparition.” And they cried out, because of fear.

Matthew14:27 And immediately, Jesus spoke to them, saying: “Have faith. It is I. Do not be afraid.”

Matthew14:28 Then Peter responded by saying, “Lord, if it is you, order me come to you over the waters.”

Matthew14:29 And he said, “Come.” And Peter, descending from the boat, walked over the water, so as to go to Jesus.

Matthew14:30 Yet truly, seeing that the wind was strong, he was afraid. And as he began to sink, he cried out, saying: “Lord, save me.”

Matthew14:31 And immediately Jesus extended his hand and took hold of him. And he said to him, “O little in faith, why did you doubt?”

Matthew14:32 And when they had ascended into the boat, the wind ceased.

Matthew14:33 Then those who were in the boat drew near and adored him, saying: “Truly, you are the Son of God.”
