The Darby Translation DBY
New International Version NIV
23 And having dismissed the crowds, he went up into the mountain apart to pray. And when even was come, he was alone there,
23
After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. Later that night, he was there alone,
24 but the ship was already in the middle of the sea tossed by the waves, for the wind was contrary.
24
and the boat was already a considerable distance from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it.
25 But in the fourth watch of the night he went off to them, walking on the sea.
25
Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake.
26 And the disciples, seeing him walking on the sea, were troubled, saying, It is an apparition. And they cried out through fear.
26
When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,” they said, and cried out in fear.
27 But Jesus immediately spoke to them, saying, Take courage; it is *I*: be not afraid.
27
But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”
28 And Peter answering him said, Lord, if it be *thou*, command me to come to thee upon the waters.
28
“Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.”
29 And he said, Come. And Peter, having descended from the ship, walked upon the waters to go to Jesus.
29
“Come,” he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus.
30 But seeing the wind strong he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, Lord, save me.
30
But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”
31 And immediately Jesus stretched out his hand and caught hold of him, and says to him, O thou of little faith, why didst thou doubt?
31
Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?”
32 And when they had gone up into the ship, the wind fell.
32
And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down.
33 But those in the ship came and did homage to him, saying, Truly thou art God's Son.
33
Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.”
