²² And immediately he compelled the disciples to go on board ship, and to go on before him to the other side, until he should have dismissed the crowds.

²³ And having dismissed the crowds, he went up into the mountain apart to pray. And when even was come, he was alone there,

²⁴ but the ship was already in the middle of the sea tossed by the waves, for the wind was contrary.

²⁵ But in the fourth watch of the night he went off to them, walking on the sea.

²⁶ And the disciples, seeing him walking on the sea, were troubled, saying, It is an apparition. And they cried out through fear.

²⁷ But Jesus immediately spoke to them, saying, Take courage; it is *I*: be not afraid.

²⁸ And Peter answering him said, Lord, if it be *thou*, command me to come to thee upon the waters.

²⁹ And he said, Come. And Peter, having descended from the ship, walked upon the waters to go to Jesus.

³⁰ But seeing the wind strong he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, Lord, save me.

³¹ And immediately Jesus stretched out his hand and caught hold of him, and says to him, O thou of little faith, why didst thou doubt?

³² And when they had gone up into the ship, the wind fell.

³³ But those in the ship came and did homage to him, saying, Truly thou art God's Son.

³⁴ And having crossed over they came to the land of Gennesaret.

³⁵ And when the men of that place recognised him, they sent to that whole country around, and they brought to him all that were ill,

³⁶ and besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment; and as many as touched were made thoroughly well.
