New Testament

Matthew 14:26-36 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

26. When the followers saw him walking on the water, they were afraid. They said, “It’s a ghost!” and cried out in fear.

27. But Jesus quickly spoke to them. He said, “Have courage! It is I! Don’t be afraid.”

28. Peter said, “Lord, if that is really you, then tell me to come to you on the water.”

29. Jesus said, “Come.”And Peter left the boat and walked on the water to Jesus.

30. But when Peter saw the wind and the waves, he became afraid and began to sink. He shouted, “Lord, save me!”

31. Then Jesus reached out his hand and caught Peter. Jesus said, “Your faith is small. Why did you doubt?”

32. After Peter and Jesus were in the boat, the wind became calm.

33. Then those who were in the boat worshiped Jesus and said, “Truly you are the Son of God!”

34. After they crossed the lake, they came to the shore at Gennesaret.

35. The people there saw Jesus and knew who he was. So they told people all around there that Jesus had come. They brought all their sick to him.

36. They begged Jesus to let them just touch the edge of his coat to be healed. And all the sick people who touched it were healed.
