The boat, now hundreds of yards from shore, was being thrown around by the waves because it was going against the wind.
25
Between three and six o'clock in the morning, he came to them. He was walking on the sea.
26
When the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were terrified. They said, "It's a ghost!" and began to scream because they were afraid.
27
Immediately, Jesus said, "Calm down! It's me. Don't be afraid!"
28
Peter answered, "Lord, if it is you, order me to come to you on the water."
29
Jesus said, "Come!" So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water toward Jesus.
30
But when he noticed how strong the wind was, he became afraid and started to sink. He shouted, "Lord, save me!"
31
Immediately, Jesus reached out, caught hold of him, and said, "You have so little faith! Why did you doubt?"
32
When they got into the boat, the wind stopped blowing.
33
The men in the boat bowed down in front of Jesus and said, "You are truly the Son of God."
34
They crossed the sea and landed at Gennesaret.
