Matthew:14:22-36
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Immediately he obliged the disciples to embark and pass over before him ,
while he dismissed the multitude .
*
Having dismissed the multitude ,
he retired by himself to a mountain to pray ,
and remained there alone .
*
By that time the bark was half way over ,
tossed by the waves ,
for the wind was contrary .
*
In the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them ,
walking on the sea .
*
When the disciples saw him walking on the sea ,
being terrified ,
they exclaimed ,
An apparition !
and cried out for fear .
*
Jesus immediately spoke to them ,
saying ,
*
Peter answering ,
said to him ,
If it be you ,
Master ,
bid me to come to you on the water .
*
Jesus said ,
Then Peter getting out of the bark ,
walked on the water toward Jesus .
*
But finding the wind boisterous ,
he was frightened ;
and beginning to sink ,
cried ,
Master ,
save me .
*
Jesus instantly stretching out his hand ,
caught him ;
and said to him ,
*
When they had gone aboard ,
the wind ceased .
*
Then those in the bark came ,
and prostrated themselves before him ,
saying ,
You are assuredly God '
s son .
*
Having passed over ,
they landed on the territory of Gennesaret ;
*
the inhabitants of which knowing him ,
sent through all that country ,
and brought to him all the diseased ,
*
who besought him to let them touch but a tuft of his mantle ;
and as man as touched were cured .
