JESUS WALKS ON THE WATER

Matthew 14

   ²³And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.

   ²⁴But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.

   ²⁵And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.

   ²⁶And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.

   ²⁷But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.

   ²⁸And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.

   ²⁹And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.

   ³⁰But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.

   ³¹And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?

   ³²And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.

   ³³Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.

Mark 6

   ⁴⁶And when he had sent them away, he departed into a mountain to pray.

   ⁴⁷And when even was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land.

   ⁴⁸And he saw them toiling in rowing; for the wind was contrary unto them: and about the fourth watch of the night he cometh unto them, walking upon the sea, and would have passed by them.

   ⁴⁹But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they supposed it had been a spirit, and cried out:

   ⁵⁰For they all saw him, and were troubled. And immediately he talked with them, and saith unto them, Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid.

   ⁵¹And he went up unto them into the ship; and the wind ceased: and they were sore amazed in themselves beyond measure, and wondered.

   ⁵²For they considered not the miracle of the loaves: for their heart was hardened.

John 6

   ¹⁷And entered into a ship, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them.

   ¹⁸And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew.

   ¹⁹So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the ship: and they were afraid.

   ²⁰But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid.

   ²¹Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went.
