²² And forthwith Jesus obliged his disciples to go up into the boat, and to go before him over the water, till he dismissed the people.

²³ And having dismissed the multitude, he went into a mountain alone to pray. And when it was evening, he was there alone.

²⁴ But the boat in the midst of the sea was tossed with the waves: for the wind was contrary.

²⁵ And in the fourth watch of the night, he came to them walking upon the sea.

²⁶ And they seeing him walk upon the sea, were troubled, saying: It is an apparition. And they cried out for fear.

²⁷ And immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying: Be of good heart: it is I, fear ye not.

²⁸ And Peter making answer, said: Lord, if it be thou, bid me come to thee upon the waters.

²⁹ And he said: Come. And Peter going down out of the boat, walked upon the water to come to Jesus.

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

³¹ And immediately Jesus stretching forth his hand took hold of him, and said to him: O thou of little faith, why didst thou doubt?

³² And when they were come up into the boat, the wind ceased.

³³ And they that were in the boat came and adored him, saying: Indeed thou art the Son of God.
