22 And immediately he urged his disciples to go up into the boat, in advance of him to the crossing place, while he dismissed the people. 23 And when he had dismissed the people, he went up to the mountain alone to pray; and when darkness fell he was still there alone. 24 But the boat was many miles away from the land, tossed by the waves, for the wind was against it. 25 And in the fourth watch of the night, Jesus came to them, walking on the water. 26 And his disciples saw him walking on the water, and they were scared, and they said, It is a false vision; and they cried out because of their fear. 27 But Jesus spoke to them at once and said, Have courage; it is I; do not be afraid. 28 And Peter answered and said to him, My Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water. 29 Jesus said to him, Come. So Peter went down from the boat, and walked on the water, to come to Jesus. 30 But when he saw that the wind was severe, he was afraid, and began to sink, and he raised his voice and said, My Lord, save me. 31 And our Lord immediately stretched out his hand and grasped him; and he said to him, O you of little faith, why did you doubt? 32 And when they went up into the boat, the wind quieted down. 33 And they who were in the boat came and worshipped him; and they said, Truly you are the Son of God. 34 And they rowed and came to the land of Gennesaret. 35 And the men of that country recognized him, and they sent word to all the villages around them; so they brought to him all who were seriously sick. 36 And they besought him, that they might touch even the edge of his robe; and those who touched it were healed.
