Jesus Walks on the Sea
45 (A)And immediately Jesus made His disciples get into (B)the boat and go ahead of Him to the other side to (C)Bethsaida, while He Himself was sending the crowd away. 46 And after (D)bidding them farewell, He left (E)for the mountain to pray.
47 And when it was evening, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and He was alone on the land. 48 And seeing them [a]straining at the oars, for the wind was against them, at about the [b](F)fourth watch of the night He *came to them, walking on the sea; and He was intending to pass by them. 49 But when they saw Him walking on the sea, they thought that it was a ghost, and cried out; 50 for they all saw Him and were [c]terrified. But immediately He spoke with them and *said to them, “(G)Take courage; it is I, (H)do not be afraid.” 51 Then He got into (I)the boat with them, and the wind stopped; and they were [d]utterly amazed,

Jesus Walks on the Sea
22 (A)Immediately He [a]made the disciples get into the boat and go ahead of Him to the other side, while He sent the crowds away. 23 And after He had sent the crowds away, (B)He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray; and when it was evening, He was there alone. 24 But the boat was already many [b]stadia away from the land, [c]being battered by the waves; for the wind was [d](C)against them. 25 And in (D)the [e]fourth watch of the night He came to them, walking on the sea. 26 Now when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified, and said, “It is (E)a ghost!” And they cried out [f]in fear. 27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “(F)Take courage, [g]it is I; (G)do not be afraid.”
28 And Peter answered and said to Him, “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.” 29 And He said, “Come!” And getting out of the boat, Peter walked on the water and came toward Jesus. 30 But seeing the wind, he became frightened, and beginning to sink, he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!” 31 And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and took hold of him, and *said to him, “(H)You of little faith, why did you doubt?” 32 And when they got into the boat, the wind stopped.

Jesus Walks on the Sea
15 So Jesus, knowing that they were going to come and take Him by force (A)to make Him king, (B)withdrew again to (C)the mountain by Himself alone.
16 Now when evening came, His (D)disciples went down to the sea, 17 and after getting into a boat, they began to cross the sea (E)to Capernaum. It had already become dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them. 18 And the sea *was stirred up because a strong wind was blowing. 19 Then, when they had rowed about [a]twenty-five or thirty stadia, they *saw Jesus walking on the sea and drawing near to the boat; and they were frightened. 20 But He *said to them, [b]“It is I; [c](F)do not be afraid.” 21 So they were willing to receive Him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land to which they were going.
