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

²² Then he made his disciples get aboard the boat and precede him to the other side, while he sent away the crowds. ²³ After he had sent the crowds away, he went up into the mountain alone, to pray. When night came he was there alone. ²⁴ But the boat was already a long way from shore, buffeted by the waves, for the wind was contrary. ²⁵ And in the fourth watch of the night he came toward them, walking upon the sea, ²⁶ but when the disciples saw him walking upon the sea, they were terrified. "It is a phantom," they said, and cried out for fear.

²⁷ But at once Jesus spoke to them, "Courage," he said, "it is I. Fear not."

²⁸ Peter answered, "Master, if it is you, bid me come to you upon the water."

²⁹ "Come," said Jesus. Then Peter got down from the boat and walked on the water to go to Jesus. ³⁰ But when he saw the wind, he was afraid, and as he began to sink, he cried out, "Master, save me!"

³¹ At once Jesus stretched out his hand and caught hold of him, saying to him. "O little faith! What made you doubt?" ³² Then as they climbed into the boat the wind grew weary, ³³ and the men in the boat fell upon their knees before him, saying, "You are, indeed, the Son of God."

⁴⁵ Then he at once compelled the disciples to embark in the boat and go before him to Bethsaida on the other side, while he sent the people away. ⁴⁶ After he had taken leave of them, he went away into the mountain to pray. ⁴⁷ And when evening came, the boat was half-way across the sea, while he was on shore alone; ⁴⁸ but when he saw them distressed in rowing (for the wind was against them), about the fourth watch of the night he went to them, walking upon the sea, ⁴⁹ they thought it was an apparition and shrieked aloud, for they all saw him and were terrified. ⁵⁰ But he at once spoke with them, saying. "Courage! It is I. Do not be afraid!" ⁵¹ Then he got into the boat beside them, and the wind ceased, and they were utterly astounded, ⁵² for they had not understood about the loaves; on the contrary their heart was hardened.

¹⁶ When evening came on, his disciples went down to the sea. ¹⁷ There they got in a boat, and started across the sea for Capernaum. The darkness had already fallen, ¹⁸ Jesus had not yet come to them, and the sea began to rise, because a strong wind was blowing. ¹⁹ After they had rowed three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking upon the sea, and drawing near to the boat, and they were terrified;

²⁰ but he said to them, "It is I, be not afraid." ²¹ Then they were willing to take him on board, and immediately the boat reached the shore they were making for.
