Early in the morning, Jesus went out to the disciples. He walked on the lake.
26
They saw him walking on the lake and were terrified. "It's a ghost!" they said. And they cried out in fear.
27
Right away Jesus called out to them, "Be brave! It is I. Don't be afraid."
28
"Lord, is it you?" Peter asked. "If it is, tell me to come to you on the water."
29
"Come," Jesus said. So Peter got out of the boat. He walked on the water toward Jesus.
30
But when Peter saw the wind, he was afraid. He began to sink. He cried out, "Lord! Save me!"
31
Right away Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. "Your faith is so small!" he said. "Why did you doubt me?"
32
When they climbed into the boat, the wind died down.
33
Then those in the boat worshiped Jesus. They said, "You really are the Son of God!"
34
They crossed over the lake and landed at Gennesaret.
35
The men who lived there recognized Jesus. So they sent a message all over the nearby countryside. People brought all their sick to Jesus.
