Matthew 14:22-33

Jesus Walks on the Water

22 ¹Immediately he ²made the disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowds.

23 And after he had dismissed the crowds, ³he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. When ⁴evening came, he was there alone,

24 but the boat by this time was a long way^[a] from the land,^[b] beaten by the waves, for the wind was against them.

25 And ⁵in the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea.

26 But when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, ⁶they were terrified, and said, "It is a ghost!" and they cried out in fear.

27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, ⁷"Take heart; it is I. ⁸Do not be afraid."

28 And Peter answered him, "Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water."

29 He said, "Come." So Peter got out of the boat and ⁹walked on the water and came to Jesus.

30 But when he saw the wind,^[c] he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, ¹⁰"Lord, save me."

31 Jesus immediately reached out his hand and took hold of him, saying to him, ¹¹"O you of little faith, why did you ¹²doubt?"

32 And when they got into the boat, ¹³the wind ceased.

33 And ¹⁴those in the boat ¹⁵worshiped him, saying, ¹⁶"Truly you are ¹⁷the Son of God."
