24. But the boat was by this time out on the sea, many furlongs [a furlong is one-eighth of a mile] distant from the land, beaten and tossed by the waves, for the wind was against them.
25. And in the fourth watch [between 3:00–6:00 a.m.] of the night, Jesus came to them, walking on the sea.
26. And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified and said, It is a ghost! And they screamed out with fright.
27. But instantly He spoke to them, saying, Take courage! I AM! Stop being afraid! [Exod. 3:14.]
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 he came toward Jesus.
30. But when he perceived and felt the strong wind, he was frightened, and as he began to sink, he cried out, Lord, save me [from death]!
31. Instantly Jesus reached out His hand and caught and held him, saying to him, O you of little faith, why did you doubt?
32. And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased.
33. And those in the boat knelt and worshiped Him, saying, Truly You are the Son of God!
34. And when they had crossed over to the other side, they went ashore at Gennesaret.
35. And when the men of that place recognized Him, they sent around into all the surrounding country and brought to Him all who were sick
36. And begged Him to let them merely touch the fringe of His garment; and as many as touched it were perfectly restored. [Matt. 9:20.]
