Matthew 14:24-29

Jesus Walks on the Water

24 but the boat by this time was a long way 1 from the land, 2 beaten by the waves, for the wind was against them. 25 And l in the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea. 26 But when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, p they were terrified, and said, "It is a ghost!" and they cried out in fear. 27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, q "Take heart; it is I. q Do not be afraid."

28 And Peter answered him, "Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water." 29 He said, "Come." So Peter got out of the boat and r walked on the water and came to Jesus.
