Matthew 14:24-36
14:24 Meanwhile the boat, already far from land,
was taking a beating from the waves because the wind was against it.
14:25 As the night was ending,
Jesus came to them walking on the sea.
14:26 When
the disciples saw him walking on the water
they were terrified and said, “It’s a ghost!” and cried out with fear.
14:27 But immediately Jesus
spoke to them:
“Have courage! It is I. Do not be afraid.”
14:28 Peter
said to him,
“Lord, if it is you, order me to come to you on the water.”
14:29 So he said, “Come.” Peter got out of the boat, walked on the water, and came toward Jesus.
14:30 But when he saw the strong wind he became afraid. And starting to sink, he cried out,
“Lord, save me!”
14:31 Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him, saying to him, “You of little faith, why did you doubt?”
14:32 When they went up into the boat, the wind ceased.
14:33 Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.”
14:34 After they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret.
14:35 When the people there recognized him, they sent word into all the surrounding area, and they brought all their sick to him.
14:36 They begged him if they could only touch the edge of his cloak, and all who touched it were healed.
