25 And (A)in the fourth watch of the night[a] he came to them, walking on the sea. 26 But when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, (B)they were terrified, and said, “It is a ghost!” and they cried out in fear. 27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, (C)“Take heart; it is I. (D)Do not be afraid.”

28 And Peter answered him, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.” 29 He said, “Come.” So Peter got out of the boat and (E)walked on the water and came to Jesus. 30 But when he saw the wind,[b] he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, (F)“Lord, save me.” 31 Jesus immediately reached out his hand and took hold of him, saying to him, (G)“O you of little faith, why did you (H)doubt?” 32 And when they got into the boat, (I)the wind ceased. 33 And (J)those in the boat (K)worshiped him, saying, (L)“Truly you are (M)the Son of God.”
