Matthew 14: 22 - 36
|
| 22
|
Then he made the disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowds.
|
| 23
|
And after he had dismissed the crowds, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone,
|
| 24
|
but the boat by this time was many furlongs distant from the land, beaten by the waves; for the wind was against them.
|
| 25
|
And 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, they were terrified, saying, "It is a ghost!" And they cried out for fear.
|
| 27
|
But immediately he spoke to them, saying, "Take heart, it is I; have no fear."
|
| 28
|
And Peter answered him, "Lord, if it is you, bid me come to you on the water."
|
| 29
|
He said, "Come." So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water and came to Jesus;
|
| 30
|
but when he saw the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, "Lord, save me."
|
| 31
|
Jesus immediately reached out his hand and caught him, saying to him, "O man of little faith, why did you doubt?"
|
| 32
|
And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased.
|
| 33
|
And those in the boat worshiped him, saying, "Truly you are the Son of God."
|
| 34
|
And when they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret.
|
| 35
|
And when the men of that place recognized him, they sent round to all that region and brought to him all that were sick,
|
| 36
|
and besought him that they might only touch the fringe of his garment; and as many as touched it were made well.
