耶稣履海

22 耶稣随即催门徒上船,先渡到那边去,等他叫众人散开。 23 散了众人以后,他就独自上山去祷告。到了晚上,只有他一人在那里。 24 那时船在海中,因风不顺,被浪摇撼。 25 夜里四更天,耶稣在海面上走,往门徒那里去。 26 门徒看见他在海面上走,就惊慌了,说:“是个鬼怪!”便害怕,喊叫起来。 27 耶稣连忙对他们说:“你们放心!是我,不要怕!” 28 彼得说:“主,如果是你,请叫我从水面上走到你那里去。” 29 耶稣说:“你来吧!”彼得就从船上下去,在水面上走,要到耶稣那里去。 30 只因见风甚大,就害怕,将要沉下去,便喊着说:“主啊,救我!” 31 耶稣赶紧伸手拉住他,说:“你这小信的人哪,为什么疑惑呢?” 32 他们上了船,风就住了。 33 在船上的人都拜他,说:“你真是神的儿子了!”

Jesus Walks on the Sea(A)

22 Immediately Jesus [a]made His disciples get into the boat and go before Him to the other side, while He sent the multitudes away. 23 (B)And when He had sent the multitudes away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. (C)Now when evening came, He was alone there. 24 But the boat was now [b]in the middle of the sea, tossed by the waves, for the wind was contrary.

25 Now in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on the sea. 26 And when the disciples saw Him (D)walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, “It is a ghost!” And they cried out for fear.

27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, [c]“Be of good (E)cheer! [d]It is I; do not be afraid.”

28 And Peter answered Him and said, “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.”

29 So He said, “Come.” And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus. 30 But when he saw [e]that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!”

31 And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, “O you of (F)little faith, why did you doubt?” 32 And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased.

33 Then those who were in the boat [f]came and worshiped Him, saying, “Truly (G)You are the Son of God.”

Jesus Walks on the Water(A)(B)

22 Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd. 23 After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray.(C) Later that night, he was there alone, 24 and the boat was already a considerable distance from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it.

25 Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. 26 When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,”(D) they said, and cried out in fear.

27 But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage!(E) It is I. Don’t be afraid.”(F)

28 “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.”

29 “Come,” he said.

Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. 30 But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”

31 Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,”(G) he said, “why did you doubt?”

32 And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. 33 Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.”(H)
