Matthew 14:22-33 - Jesus Walks On The Water

²² And He at once had the disciples get into the boat and cross to the other side ahead of Him, while He dismissed the crowds. ²³ After He had dismissed the crowds, He went up the hill alone to pray. And after the evening came on, He was there alone, ²⁴ but the boat was already a long way from shore, and was being tossed by the waves, for the wind was against them. ²⁵ Just before day He went out to them, walking on the sea. ²⁶ And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified, and said, "It is a ghost!" And they screamed with fright.

²⁷ Then Jesus at once spoke to them, "Be men of courage! It is I; stop being afraid."

²⁸ Peter answered Him, "Lord, if it is you, let me come to you on the water."

²⁹ And He said, "Come." And Peter got down out of the boat and walked on the water, and he went toward Jesus. ³⁰ But when he felt the wind, he was frightened, and as he began to go down, he cried out, "Lord, save me!"

³¹ Jesus at once put out His hand and caught hold of him, and said to him, "O you of little faith! Why did you waver so?" ³² And when they got into the boat, the wind lulled, ³³ And the men in the boat worshiped Him, and said, "You are certainly God's Son."

⁴⁵ Then He insisted that the disciples at once get into their boat and cross ahead of Him toward Bethsaida, while He was sending the crowd away. ⁴⁶ After He had told them "Goodbye," He went up the hill to pray. ⁴⁷ Now when evening had come, the boat was in the middle of the sea, while He was alone on land. ⁴⁸ And because He saw that they were struggling at the oars, for the wind was against them, a while before daybreak He started toward them walking on the sea, and He meant to go right up beside them. ⁴⁹ But when they saw Him walking on the sea, they thought that it was a ghost and screamed aloud, ⁵⁰ for they all saw Him and were terrified. But He at once spoke to them and said, "Keep up courage! It is I; stop being afraid." ⁵¹ Then He went up to them and got into the boat, and the wind lulled. They were completely dumbfounded, ⁵² for they did not understand the lesson of the loaves; their minds were dull.

¹⁶ When evening came, His disciples went down to the sea ¹⁷ and got into a boat and started across the sea to Capernaum. Now it was already dark, and Jesus had not come to them. ¹⁸ The sea was getting rough, because a strong wind was blowing. ¹⁹ When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the boat, and they were terror-stricken.

²⁰ But He said to them, "It is I; stop being afraid!" ²¹ Then they were willing to take Him on board, and at once the boat came to the shore it was making for.
