Matthew 14:23-27

Christian Standard Bible

²³ After dismissing the crowds, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. Well into the night, he was there alone.^{(A) 24} Meanwhile, the boat was already some distance^[a] from land,^[b] battered by the waves, because the wind was against them. ²⁵ Jesus came toward them walking on the sea^(B) very early in the morning.^{[c] 26} When the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost!” they said, and they cried out in fear.

²⁷ Immediately Jesus spoke to them. “Have courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”^(C)
