Matthew

Matthew 14:28–32

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.
