Matthew 14:24-32

24But the boat [by this time] was already a long distance from land, tossed and battered by the waves; for the wind was against them.

25And in the fourth watch of the night (3:00-6:00 a.m.) Jesus came to them, walking on the sea.

26When the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified, and said, “It is a ghost!” And they cried out in fear.

27But immediately He spoke to them, saying, “Take courage, it is I! Do not be afraid!”

28Peter replied to Him, “Lord, if it is [really] You, command me to come to You on the water.”

29He said, “Come!” So Peter got out of the boat, and walked on the water and came toward Jesus.

30But when he saw [the effects of] the wind, he was frightened, and he began to sink, and he cried out, “Lord, save me!”

31Immediately Jesus extended His hand and caught him, saying to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?”

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