Matthew 14:25–33

²⁵During the fourth watch of the night,^b Jesus went out to them, walking on the sea. ²⁶When the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost!” they said, and cried out in fear.

²⁷But Jesus spoke up at once: “Take courage! It is I. Do not be afraid.”

²⁸“Lord, if it is You,” Peter replied, “command me to come to You on the water.”

²⁹“Come,” said Jesus.

Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water, and came toward Jesus. ³⁰But when he saw the strength of the wind,^c he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”

³¹Immediately Jesus reached out His hand and took hold of Peter. “You of little faith,” He said, “why did you doubt?”

³²And when they had climbed back into the boat, the wind died down. ³³Then those who were in the boat worshiped Him, saying, “Truly You are the Son of God!”
