bwe - Matthew:14:22-33

bwe@Matthew:14:22 @ Then Jesus told the disciples, You get into the boat right away and go ahead of me to the other side of the sea. And I will send these people away.

bwe@Matthew:14:23 @ After he had sent them away, he went up on the hill by himself to talk with God. Evening came and he was there alone.

bwe@Matthew:14:24 @ The boat was far out on the water by this time. The water was beating against the boat and the wind was blowing the wrong way.

bwe@Matthew:14:25 @ When it was almost morning, Jesus came to them. He was walking on the water.

bwe@Matthew:14:26 @ His disciples saw him walking on the water. They were afraid, and said, It is a spirit! Then they shouted loudly because they were afraid.

bwe@Matthew:14:27 @ Then Jesus spoke to them right away. He said, Be glad! It is I. Do not fear.

bwe@Matthew:14:28 @ Peter said, Lord, if it is you, tell me to come to you on the water.

bwe@Matthew:14:29 @ Jesus said, Come. So Peter got out of the boat. He walked on the water and went toward Jesus.

bwe@Matthew:14:30 @ He saw what the wind did. Then he was afraid and began to go down in the water. He called out, Lord, save me!

bwe@Matthew:14:31 @ Right away Jesus put out his hand and took hold of him. He said, You do not believe very much in me! Why did you not believe?

bwe@Matthew:14:32 @ When they got into the boat, the wind stopped blowing.

bwe@Matthew:14:33 @ Then the men in the boat bowed down in front of Jesus. They said, You really are the Son of God.
