耶稣在水上行走

22 随后,耶稣催门徒上船,叫他们先渡到湖对岸,祂则遣散众人。 23 待众人都离开了,祂就独自上山去祷告,在那里一直待到晚上。

24 那时,门徒的船离岸已远,遇到逆风,船身被波浪撞击得摇摆不定。 25 天将破晓的时候,耶稣从水面上向门徒走去。 26 门徒看见有人在湖面上走,都吓坏了,说:“是幽灵!”他们害怕得又喊又叫。

27 耶稣立刻对他们说:“放心吧!是我,不要怕。”

28 彼得说:“主啊!如果真的是你,就叫我从水面上走到你那里。”

29 耶稣说:“好,你来吧!”

于是,彼得就从船上下去,走在湖面上,要去耶稣那里。 30 他看到风浪很大,就害怕起来,身体开始往下沉,便大喊:“主啊,救我!”

31 耶稣马上伸手拉住他,说:“你信心太小了!为什么怀疑呢?”

32 他们上了船,风浪就平静了。 33 船上的人都敬拜祂,说:“你真是上帝的儿子。”

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)
