The gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ according to Matthew

After Jesus had fed the people, He made the disciples get in the boat and precede Him to the other side. Jesus stayed there to dismiss the people, and after He had dismissed them, He went up to the mountain by Himself to pray. Later that day He was alone on the mountain, but the ship was far from shore and was being tossed about in the waves for the wind was against it. Early in the morning, Jesus came to them walking on the water. And when they saw Him, they were frightened and they cried out, "This is a ghost." And Jesus said, "Be calm. It is I. Do not be afraid."

Now when Peter heard this, he said to Jesus, "Lord if it is truly you, command me that I come to you on the water." And Jesus said to him, "Come." And Peter got out of the boat and began to walk on the water with his eyes firmly fixed on Jesus. And then he realized how powerful the wind was, and he began to sink. He cried out, "Lord, save me." Jesus reached out and took hold of him. He said, "Oh, you of little faith. Why did you doubt?" When they got into the boat, the wind calmed down and they all paid Him homage. And they said, "Truly you are the son of God."
