Matthew 14:13-34

13When Jesus heardof it, he departed from there in a boat into a desert place by himself: and when the people had heard of it, they followed him on foot out of the cities. 14And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick. 15And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now late; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves food. 16But Jesus said to them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat. 17And they say to him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes. 18He said, Bring them here to me. 19And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and broke, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. 20And they all ate, and were satisfied: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full. 21And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, besides women and children.

22And immediately Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a boat, and to go before him to the other side, while he sent the multitudes away. 23And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up to a mountain by himself to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone. 24But the boat was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary. 25And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on the sea. 26And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a ghost; and they cried out for fear. 27But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid. 28And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it is thou, bid me come to thee on the water. 29And he said, Come. And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. 30But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.1 31And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said to him, O thou of little faith, why didst thou doubt? 32And when they had come into the boat, the wind ceased. 33Then they that were in the boat came and worshipped him, saying, In truth thou art the Son of God.

34And when they had gone over, they came into the land of Gennesaret.
