*
Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into the boat and go before Him to the other side ,
while He sent the multitudes away .
*
And when He had sent the multitudes away ,
He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray .
Now when evening came ,
He was alone there .
*
But the boat was now in the middle of the sea ,
tossed by the waves ,
for the wind was contrary .
*
Now in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them ,
walking on the sea .
*
And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea ,
they were troubled ,
saying , "
It is a ghost !"
And they cried out for fear .
*
But immediately Jesus spoke to them ,
saying , "
Be of good cheer !
It is I ;
do not be afraid ."
*
And Peter answered Him and said , "
Lord ,
if it is You ,
command me to come to You on the water ."
*
So He said , "
Come ."
And when Peter had come down out of the boat ,
he walked on the water to go to Jesus .
*
But when he saw that the wind was boisterous ,
he was afraid ;
and beginning to sink he cried out ,
saying , "
Lord ,
save me !"
*
And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him ,
and said to him , "
O you of little faith ,
why did you doubt ?"
*
And when they got into the boat ,
the wind ceased .
*
Then those who were in the boat came and worshiped Him ,
saying , "
Truly You are the Son of God ."
*
When they had crossed over ,
they came to the land of Gennesaret .
*
And when the men of that place recognized Him ,
they sent out into all that surrounding region ,
brought to Him all who were sick ,
*
and begged Him that they might only touch the hem of His garment .
And as many as touched it were made perfectly well .
