Walking on the water
23And having sent the people away, he went up the mountain by himself to pray. At nightfall, he was there alone. 24Meanwhile, the boat was very far from land, dangerously rocked by the waves for the wind was against it.
25At daybreak, Jesus came to them walking on the lake. 26When they saw him walking on the sea, they were terrified, thinking that it was a ghost. And they cried out in fear. 27But at once Jesus said to them: 
—Courage! Don’t be afraid. It’s me! 
28Peter answered: 
—Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you walking on the water.
29Jesus said to him: 
—Come. 
And Peter got out of the boat, walking on the water to go to Jesus. 30But, in face of the strong wind, he was afraid and began to sink. So he cried out: 
—Lord, save me! 
31Jesus immediately stretched out his hand and took hold of him, saying: 
—Man of little faith, why did you doubt?
32As they got into the boat, the wind dropped.
