Didst Thou come here to torment us before the time?" Now there was afar off from them a herd of many swine feeding. And the demons were entreating Him, saying, "If Thou cast us out, send us away into the herd of swine." And He said to them, "Go."

And, going down from the boat, Peter walked upon the water, and came to Jesus. But, seeing the wind, he was frightened; and, beginning to sink, he cried out, saying, "Lord, save me!" And immediately Jesus, stretching forth His hand, took hold of him, and saith to him, "O you of little faith, why did you doubt?" And, when they went up into the boat, the wind ceased.
