24 By now the boat was many hundreds of yards* away from land, struggling against the waves because the wind was against them. 25 But in the fourth watch of the night* he came to them, walking on the sea. 26 When they caught sight of him walking on the sea, the disciples were troubled, saying: “It is an apparition!” And they cried out in their fear. 27 But at once Jesus spoke to them, saying: “Take courage! It is I; do not be afraid.”+ 28 Peter answered him: “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you over the waters.” 29 He said: “Come!” So Peter got out of the boat and walked over the waters and went toward Jesus. 30 But looking at the windstorm, he became afraid. And when he started to sink, he cried out: “Lord, save me!” 31 Immediately stretching out his hand, Jesus caught hold of him and said to him: “You with little faith, why did you give way to doubt?”+ 32 After they got up into the boat, the windstorm abated. 33 Then those in the boat did obeisance* to him, saying: “You really are God’s Son.”

16 When evening fell, his disciples went down to the sea,+ 17 and boarding a boat, they set out across the sea for Ca·perʹna·um. By now it had grown dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them.+ 18 Also, the sea was getting rough because a strong wind was blowing.+ 19 However, when they had rowed about three or four miles,* they saw Jesus walking on the sea and getting near the boat, and they became fearful. 20 But he said to them: “It is I; do not be afraid!”+ 21 Then they were willing to take him into the boat, and right away the boat arrived at the land to which they had been heading.+
