22 Jesus immediately had the disciples get into a boat and cross to the other side ahead of him, while he sent the crowds away.23 After dismissing the crowds, he went up on a hillside by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone.24 By this time the boat was in the middle of the sea and was being battered by the waves, for the wind was against them.25 Shortly before dawn he came to them, walking on the sea.26 When the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were terrified and said, "It's a ghost!" And they screamed in terror.27 Immediately Jesus said to them,"Have courage! It is I. Stop being afraid!"28 Peter answered him, "Lord, if it's you, order me to come to you on the water."29 Jesus said,"Come on!" So Peter got down out of the boat, started walking on the water, and came to Jesus.30 But when he noticed the strong wind, he was frightened. As he began to sink, he shouted, "Lord, save me!"31 At once Jesus reached out his hand, caught him, and said to him,"You who have so little faith, why did you doubt?"32 As they got into the boat, the wind stopped blowing.33 Then the men in the boat began to worship Jesus, saying, "You certainly are the Son of God!"
