Matthew 14:25-33

25Then, when it was nearly dawn, Jesus walked on the water towards his disciples.

26The disciples saw him walking on the water. They were very frightened. ‘It is a spirit,’ they said. They screamed loudly because they were afraid.

27But immediately Jesus said to them. ‘Be brave! It is I. Do not be afraid.’

28Peter replied, ‘Lord, is it really you? If it is you, say to me, “Come here! Walk to me on the water.” ’

29Jesus said to him, ‘Come to me.’ So Peter got down out of the boat. He walked on the water and he came towards Jesus.

30But then Peter saw that the wind was still blowing strongly. He became afraid and he began to go down into the water. He shouted to Jesus, ‘Lord, save me!’

31Immediately, Jesus put out his hand and he took hold of Peter. He said to Peter, ‘You should trust me more than you do. Why did you not believe that I could help you?’

32Jesus and Peter climbed up into the boat. Then the strong wind stopped.

33The disciples who were in the boat went down on their knees. They praised Jesus and they said to him, ‘It is true. You are really the Son of God.’
