Matthew 14:22-33

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

23After dismissing the crowds, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. Well into the night, he was there alone.

24Meanwhile, the boat was already some distance from land, battered by the waves, because the wind was against them.

25Jesus came toward them walking on the sea very early in the morning.

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

27Immediately Jesus spoke to them. “Have courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”

28“Lord, if it’s you,” Peter answered him, “command me to come to you on the water.”

29He said, “Come.” And climbing out of the boat, Peter started walking on the water and came toward Jesus.

30But when he saw the strength of the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, “Lord, save me!”

31Immediately Jesus reached out his hand, caught hold of him, and said to him, “You of little faith, why did you doubt?”

32When they got into the boat, the wind ceased.

33Then those in the boat worshiped him and said, “Truly you are the Son of God.”
