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