Matthew 14:22-36

Jesus Walks on the Water

 22Right away, Jesus made his disciples get into a boat and start back across the lake. But he stayed until he had sent the crowds away. 23Then he went up on a mountain where he could be alone and pray. Later that evening, he was still there. 24By 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. 25A little while before morning, Jesus came walking on the water toward his disciples. 26When they saw him, they thought he was a ghost. They were terrified and started screaming.

    27At once, Jesus said to them, "Don't worry! I am Jesus. Don't be afraid."

    28Peter replied, "Lord, if it is really you, tell me to come to you on the water."

    29"Come on!" Jesus said. Peter then got out of the boat and started walking on the water toward him.

    30But when Peter saw how strong the wind was, he was afraid and started sinking. "Save me, Lord!" he shouted.

    31Right away, Jesus reached out his hand. He helped Peter up and said, "You surely don't have much faith. Why do you doubt?"

    32When Jesus and Peter got into the boat, the wind died down. 33The men in the boat worshiped Jesus and said, "You really are the Son of God!"

   

Jesus Heals Sick People in Gennesaret

 34Jesus and his disciples crossed the lake and came to shore near the town of Gennesaret. 35The people found out that he was there, and they sent word to everyone who lived in that part of the country. So they brought all the sick people to Jesus. 36They begged him just to let them touch his clothes, and everyone who did was healed.
