But Jesus knew that they planned to come and force him to be their king. So he went away again to a mountain by himself.When evening came, Jesus’ disciples went down to the Sea of Galilee.There they got into a boat and headed across the lake toward Capernaum. By now it was dark. Jesus had not yet joined them.A strong wind was blowing, and the water became rough.They rowed about three or four miles. Then they saw Jesus coming toward the boat. He was walking on the water. They were frightened.But he said to them,“ It is I. Don’t be afraid.”Then they agreed to take him into the boat. Right away the boat reached the shore where they were heading.

Then he sent the crowd away.After leaving them, he went up on a mountainside to pray.Later that night, the boat was in the middle of the Sea of Galilee. Jesus was alone on land.He saw the disciples pulling hard on the oars. The wind was blowing against them. Shortly before dawn, he went out to them. He walked on the lake. When he was about to pass by them,they saw him walking on the lake. They thought he was a ghost, so they cried out.They all saw him and were terrified. Right away Jesus said to them,“ Be brave! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”Then he climbed into the boat with them. The wind died down. And they were completely amazed.They had not understood about the loaves. They were stubborn.

Right away Jesus made the disciples get into the boat. He had them go on ahead of him to the other side of the Sea of Galilee. Then he sent the crowd away.After he had sent them away, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. Later that night, he was there alone.The boat was already a long way from land. It was being pounded by the waves because the wind was blowing against it.Shortly before dawn, Jesus went out to the disciples. He walked on the lake.They saw him walking on the lake and were terrified.“ It’s a ghost!” they said. And they cried out in fear.Right away Jesus called out to them,“ Be brave! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”“ Lord, is it you?” Peter asked.“ If it is, tell me to come to you on the water.”“ Come,” Jesus said. So Peter got out of the boat. He walked on the water toward Jesus.But when Peter saw the wind, he was afraid. He began to sink. He cried out,“ Lord! Save me!”Right away Jesus reached out his hand and caught him.“ Your faith is so small!” he said.“ Why did you doubt me?”When they climbed into the boat, the wind died down.Then those in the boat worshiped Jesus. They said,“ You really are the Son of God!”
