Matthew:14:22-36
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship ,
and to go before him unto the other side ,
while he sent the multitudes away .
*
And when he had sent the multitudes away ,
he went up into a mountain apart to pray :
and when the evening was come ,
he was there alone .
*
But the ship was now in the midst of the sea ,
tossed with waves :
for the wind was contrary .
*
And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them ,
walking on the sea .
*
And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea ,
they were troubled ,
saying ,
It is a spirit ;
and they cried out for fear .
*
But straightway Jesus spake unto them ,
saying ,
Be of good cheer ;
it is I ;
be not afraid .
*
And Peter answered him and said ,
Lord ,
if it be thou ,
bid me come unto thee on the water .
*
And he said ,
Come .
And when Peter was come down out of the ship ,
he walked on the water ,
to go to Jesus .
*
But when he saw the wind boisterous ,
he was afraid ;
and beginning to sink ,
he cried ,
saying ,
Lord ,
save me .
*
And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand ,
and caught him ,
and said unto him ,
O thou of little faith ,
wherefore didst thou doubt ?
*
And when they were come into the ship ,
the wind ceased .
*
Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him ,
saying ,
Of a truth thou art the Son of God .
*
And when they were gone over ,
they came into the land of Gennesaret .
*
And when the men of that place had knowledge of him ,
they sent out into all that country round about ,
and brought unto him all that were diseased ;
*
And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment :
and as many as touched were made perfectly whole .
