Matthew 14:24-32

24But the boat was already 1a long distance from the land, 2battered by the waves; for the wind was 34contrary. 25And in 5the 6fourth watch of the night He came to them, walking on the sea. 26When the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified, and said, “It is 7a ghost!” And they cried out 8in fear. 27But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “9Take courage, 10it is I; 11do not be afraid.”

28Peter responded and said to Him, “Lord, if 12it is You, command me to come to You on the water.” 29And He said, “Come!” And Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water, and came toward Jesus. 30But seeing the wind, he became frightened, and when he began to sink, he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!” 31Immediately Jesus reached out with His hand and took hold of him, and said to him, “13You of little faith, why did you doubt?” 32When they got into the boat, the wind stopped.
