Jesus Walks on Water

Immediately after this, Jesus made his disciples get back into the boat and across to the other side of the lake while he sent the people home. 23Afterwards, he went up into the hills by himself to pray. Night fell while he was there alone. 24 Meanwhile, the disciples were in trouble far away from land, for a strong wind had risen, and they were fighting heavy waves. About three oclock in the morning Jesus came to them, walking on the water. When the disciples saw him, they screamed in terror, thinking He was a ghost. But Jesus spoke to them at once. Its all right, He said. I am here dont be afraid. Then Peter called Him, Lord, if its really You, tell me to come to you by walking on water.

All right, come, Jesus said.

So Peter went over the side of the boat and walked on the water toward Jesus. But when he looked around at the high waves, he was terrified and began to sink. Save me, Lord! he shouted. Instantly, Jesus reached out his hand and grabbed him. You dont have much faith, Jesus said. Why did you doubt Me?

And when they climbed back into the boat the wind stopped. Then the disciples worshipped Him.

You really are the Son of God! they exclaimed. After they had crossed the lake, they landed at Gennesaret. 35The news of their arrival spread quickly throughout the whole surrounding area, and soon the people were bringing all their sick to be healed. 36The sick begged him to let them touch even the fringe of his robe, and all who touched it were healed.
