22 Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd. |
23 After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone, |
24 but the boat was already a considerable distance1 14:24 Greek many stadia from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it. |
25 During the fourth watch of the night Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. |
26 When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. "It's a ghost," they said, and cried out in fear. |
27 But Jesus immediately said to them: "Take courage! It is I. Don't be afraid." |
28 "Lord, if it's you," Peter replied, "tell me to come to you on the water." |
