22 ^cImmediately he made the disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowds. 23 And after he had dismissed the crowds, ^dhe went up on the mountain by himself to pray. When evening 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 in the fourth watch of the night³ he came to them, ^ewalking on the sea. 26 But when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were terrified, and said, “It is a ^fghost!” and they cried out in fear. 27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Take heart; ^git is I. Do not be afraid.”

28 And Peter answered him, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.” 29 He said, “Come.” So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water and came to Jesus. 30 But when he saw the wind,⁴ he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, “Lord, save me.” 31 Jesus immediately reached out his hand and took hold of him, saying to him, “O you of little faith, ^hwhy did you doubt?” 32 And when they got into the boat, the wind ⁱceased. 33 And those in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the ^jSon of God.”

34 ^kAnd when they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret. 35 And when the men of that place recognized him, they sent around to all that region and brought to him all who were sick 36 and implored him that they might only ^ltouch the fringe of his garment. And as many as touched it were made well.
