24 Meanwhile, the boat, fighting a strong headwind, was being battered by the waves and was already far away from land.

25 Very early in the morning he came to his disciples, walking on the lake.

And early in the morning he came walking toward them on the sea.
26 When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified and said, "It's a ghost!" They were so frightened they screamed.

But immediately Jesus spoke to them and said, "Take heart, it is I; do not be afraid."
28 Peter replied, "Lord, if it's you, order me to come to you on the water."

Peter answered him, "Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water."
29 And Jesus said, "Come." Then Peter got out of the boat and was walking on the water toward Jesus.

33 Then those in the boat worshipped Jesus and said, "You must be God's Son!"
