Matthew 14:22-27
Contemporary English Version
Jesus Walks on the Water
(Mark 6.45-52; John 6.15-21)
22 At once, Jesus made his disciples get into a boat and start back across the lake.[a] But he stayed until he had sent the crowds away. 23 Then he went up on a mountain where he could be alone and pray. Later in the evening, he was still there.
24 By this time the boat was a long way from the shore. It was going against the wind and was being tossed around by the waves. 25 A little while before morning, Jesus came walking on the water toward his disciples. 26 When they saw him, they thought he was a ghost. They were terrified and started screaming.
27 At once, Jesus said to them, “Don't worry! I am Jesus. Don't be afraid.”
