Jesus Walks on the Water

22 (A)Immediately afterward He compelled the disciples to get into the boat and to go ahead of Him to the other side, while He sent the crowds away. 23 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 [a]a long distance from the land, [b]battered by the waves; for the wind was [c](C)contrary. 25 And in (D)the [d]fourth watch of the night He came to them, walking on the sea. 26 When the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified, and said, “It is (E)a ghost!” And they cried out [e]in fear. 27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, (F)Take courage, [f]it is I; (G)do not be afraid.”

28 Peter responded and said to Him, “Lord, if [g]it is You, command me to come to You on the water.” 29 And He said, “Come!” And Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water, and came toward Jesus. 30 But seeing the wind, he became frightened, and when he began to sink, he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!” 31 Immediately Jesus reached out with His hand and took hold of him, and *said to him, (H)You of little faith, why did you doubt?” 32 When they got into the boat, the wind stopped. 33 And those who were in the boat worshiped Him, saying, “You are truly (I)God’s Son!”

Jesus Walks Across The Raging Sea To His Disciples. They Say, Truly You Are God’s Son

22 And immediately He compelled[a] the disciples to get into the boat and to be going ahead of Him to the other side while[b] He sent-away the crowds. 23 And having sent-away the crowds, He went up on the mountain privately to pray. And having become evening[c], He was there alone. 24 And the boat was already many stades[d] distant from the land, being tormented by the waves. For the wind was contrary. 25 And He came to them in the fourth watch[e] of the night, walking across[f] the sea. 26 But the disciples, having seen Him walking on the sea, were frightened, saying that “It is a phantom[g]”. And they cried-out from the fear. 27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Take-courage, I am[h] the One. Do not be afraid[i]”. 28 But having responded to Him, Peter said, “Master, if You are[j] the One, order me to come to You across the waters”. 29 And the One said, “Come”. And having gone down from the boat, Peter walked across the waters and came[k] to Jesus. 30 But seeing the strong wind, he became afraid. And having begun to sink, he cried-out, saying, “Master, save me!” 31 And immediately Jesus, having stretched-out His hand, took-hold-of him. And He says to him, “One of-little-faith, for what purpose[l] did you doubt?” 32 And they having gone-up[m] into the boat, the wind stopped. 33 And the ones in the boat gave-worship[n] to Him, saying, “Truly[o] You are God’s Son”.
