27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, [a]“Be of good (A)cheer! [b]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 [c]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 (B)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 [d]came and worshiped Him, saying, “Truly (C)You are the Son of God.”

Many Touch Him and Are Made Well(D)

34 (E)When they had crossed over, they came [e]to the land of Gennesaret. 35 And when the men of that place recognized Him, they sent out into all that surrounding region, brought to Him all who were sick, 36 and begged Him that they might only (F)touch the hem of His garment. And (G)as many as touched it were made perfectly well.
