Matthew 14:22-33

Listen to Matthew 14:22-33

Jesus Walks on Water

22 Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of Him to the other side, while He dismissed the crowds. ¹

23 After He had dismissed them, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. When evening came, He was there alone,

24 but the boat was already far ^[a] from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it.

25 During the fourth watch of the night, ^[b] Jesus went out to them, walking on the sea.

26 When the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost!” they said, and cried out in fear.

27 But Jesus spoke up at once: “Take courage! It is I. Do not be afraid.”

28 “Lord, if it is You,” Peter replied, “command me to come to You on the water.”

29 “Come,” said Jesus. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water, and came toward Jesus.

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

31 Immediately Jesus reached out His hand and took hold of Peter. “You of little faith,” He said, “why did you doubt?”

32 And when they had climbed back into the boat, the wind died down.

33 Then those who were in the boat worshiped Him, saying, “Truly You are the Son of God!”

Calm at the Center

Pastor Jack Morris

In Matthew Chapter 14 we read about Jesus sending the disciples ahead of Him in a boat following the miracle of the feeding of the five thousand. Following that miraculous experience, the disciples found themselves in a fierce storm and fearing for their lives, but Jesus showed up at the perfect time and not only calmed the sea but provided peace to all who were on the boat. Let’s learn more about this story and the real-life meaning there is for us from today’s message, Calm at the Center.
