Matthew 14:25-32

25 At about four o'clock in the morning, Jesus came toward them walking on the water.
26 They were scared out of their wits. "A ghost!" they said, crying out in terror.
27 But Jesus was quick to comfort them. "Courage, it's me. Don't be afraid."
28 Peter, suddenly bold, said, "Master, if it's really you, call me to come to you on the water."
29 He said, "Come ahead."
30 But when he looked down at the waves churning beneath his feet, he lost his nerve and started to sink. He cried, "Master, save me!"
31 Jesus didn't hesitate. He reached down and grabbed his hand. Then he said, "Faint-heart, what got into you?"
32 The two of them climbed into the boat, and the wind died down.
