Matthew 14:22-36

Listen to Matthew 14:22-36

22 ¹Immediately he ²made the disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowds.

23 And after he had dismissed the crowds, ³he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. When ⁴evening came, he was there alone,

24 but the boat by this time was a long way^[a] from the land, ^[b] beaten by the waves, for the wind was against them.

25 And ⁵in the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea.

26 But when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, ⁶they were terrified, and said, “It is a ghost! ” and they cried out in fear.

27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, ⁷“Take heart; it is I. ⁸Do not be afraid. ”

28 And Peter answered him, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water. ”

29 He said, “Come. ”So Peter got out of the boat and ⁹walked on the water and came to Jesus.

30 But when he saw the wind, ^[c] he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, ¹⁰“Lord, save me. ”

31 Jesus immediately reached out his hand and took hold of him, saying to him, ¹¹“O you of little faith, why did you ¹²doubt? ”

32 And when they got into the boat, ¹³the wind ceased.

33 And ¹⁴those in the boat ¹⁵worshiped him, saying, ¹⁶“Truly you are ¹⁷the Son of God. ”

34 ¹⁸And when they had crossed over, they came to land at ¹⁹Gennesaret.

35 And when the men of that place recognized him, they sent around to all that region and ²⁰brought to him all who were sick

36 and implored him that they might only touch ²¹the fringe of his garment. And ²²as many as touched it were made well.
