Walking on the Water
English Revised Version (ERV)
Mat 14:22–33
- 22 And straightway he constrained the disciples to enter into the boat, and to go before him unto the other side, till he should send the multitudes away.
- 23 And after he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into the mountain apart to pray: and when even was come, he was there alone.
- 24 But the boat was now in the midst of the sea, distressed by the waves; for the wind was contrary.
- 25 And in the fourth watch of the night he came unto them, walking upon the sea.
- 26 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is an apparition; and they cried out for fear.
- 27 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.
- 28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee upon the waters.
- 29 And he said, Come. And Peter went down from the boat, and walked upon the waters, to come to Jesus.
- 30 But when he saw the wind, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried out, saying, Lord, save me.
- 31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and took hold of him, and saith unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?
- 32 And when they were gone up into the boat, the wind ceased.
- 33 And they that were in the boat worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.
Mrk 6:45–52
- 45 And straightway he constrained his disciples to enter into the boat, and to go before him unto the other side to Bethsaida, while he himself sendeth the multitude away.
- 46 And after he had taken leave of them, he departed into the mountain to pray.
- 47 And when even was come, the boat was in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land.
- 48 And seeing them distressed in rowing, for the wind was contrary unto them, about the fourth watch of the night he cometh unto them, walking on the sea; and he would have passed by them:
- 49 but they, when they saw him walking on the sea, supposed that it was an apparition, and cried out:
- 50 for they all saw him, and were troubled. But he straightway spake with them, and saith unto them, Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid.
- 51 And he went up unto them into the boat; and the wind ceased: and they were sore amazed in themselves;
- 52 for they understood not concerning the loaves, but their heart was hardened.

- 16 And when evening came, his disciples went down unto the sea;
- 17 and they entered into a boat, and were going over the sea unto Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them.
- 18 And the sea was rising by reason of a great wind that blew.
- 19 When therefore they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they behold Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the boat: and they were afraid.
- 20 But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid.
- 21 They were willing therefore to receive him into the boat: and straightway the boat was at the land whither they were going.
