Walking on the Water
Wycliffe's Bible (Modern Spelling)
Mat 14:22–33
- 22 And anon Jesus compelled the disciples to go up into a boat, and to go before him over the sea, while he let go the people.
- 23 And when the people was let go, he went up alone into an hill to pray. But when the evening was come, he was there alone.
- 24 And the boat in the middle of the sea was shogged or thrown with waves, for the wind was contrary to them.
- 25 But in the fourth waking of the night, he came to them walking on the sea.
- 26 And they, seeing him walking on the sea, were disturbed or distroubled, and said, That it is a phantom; and for dread they cried.
- 27 And anon Jesus spake to them, and said, Have ye trust, I am; do not ye dread.
- 28 And Peter answered, and said, Lord, if thou art, command me to come to thee on the waters.
- 29 And he said, Come thou. And Peter went down from the boat, and walked on the waters to come to Jesus.
- 30 But he saw the wind strong, and was afeared; and when he began to drench or drown, he cried, and said, Lord, make me safe.
- 31 And anon Jesus held forth his hand, and took Peter, or caught him, and said to him, Thou of little faith, why hast thou doubted?
- 32 And when he had gone up into the boat, the wind ceased.
- 33 And they, that were in the boat, came, and worshipped him, and said, Verily, thou art God’s Son.
Mrk 6:45–52
- 45 And anon he made his disciples to go up into a boat, to pass before him over the sea to Bethsaida, while he let the people go.
- 46 And when he had left them, he went into an high hill, to pray.
- 47 And when it was even, the boat was in the middle or in the midst of the sea, and he alone in the land;
- 48 and he saw them travailing in rowing; for the wind was contrary to them. And about the fourth waking of the night, he wandering on the sea, came to them, and would pass them.
- 49 And as they saw him wandering on the sea, they guessed that it were a phantom, and cried out;
- 50 for all saw him, and they were afraid, or they were troubled, or disturbed. And anon he spake with them, and said to them, Trust ye, I am; do not ye dread.
- 51 And he came up to them into the boat, and the wind ceased. And they wondered more within themselves;
- 52 for they understood not of the loaves; for their heart was blinded.
