When ^oevening came, he was there alone, 24 but the boat by this time was a long way¹ from the land,² beaten by the waves, for the wind was against them. 25 And ^lin the fourth watch of the night³ he came to them, walking on the sea. 26 But when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, ^pthey were terrified, and said, “It is a ghost!” and they cried out in fear. 27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, ^q“Take heart; it is I. ^qDo not be afraid.”
