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 4walked on the water and came to Jesus.
30 But when he saw the wind, [a] he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, 5“Lord, save me. ”
31 Jesus immediately reached out his hand and took hold of him, saying to him, 6“O you of little faith, why did you 7doubt? ”
32 And when they got into the boat, 8the wind ceased.
33 And 9those in the boat 10worshiped him, saying, 11“Truly you are 12the Son of God. ”
