Gospel Matthew 14:22-36

• 22And Jesus promptly compelled his disciples to climb into the boat, and to precede him in crossing the sea, while he dismissed the crowds.

• 23And having dismissed the multitude, he ascended alone onto a mountain to pray. And when evening arrived, he was alone there.

• 24But in the midst of the sea, the boat was being tossed about by the waves. For the wind was against them.

• 25Then, in the fourth watch of the night, he came to them, walking upon the sea.

• 26And seeing him walking upon the sea, they were disturbed, saying: “It must be an apparition.” And they cried out, because of fear.

• 27And immediately, Jesus spoke to them, saying: “Have faith. It is I. Do not be afraid.”

• 28Then Peter responded by saying, “Lord, if it is you, order me to come to you over the waters.”

• 29And he said, “Come.” And Peter, descending from the boat, walked over the water, so as to go to Jesus.

• 30Yet truly, seeing that the wind was strong, he was afraid. And as he began to sink, he cried out, saying: “Lord, save me.”

• 31And immediately Jesus extended his hand and took hold of him. And he said to him, “O little in faith, why did you doubt?”

• 32And when they had ascended into the boat, the wind ceased.

• 33Then those who were in the boat drew near and adored him, saying: “Truly, you are the Son of God.”

• 34And having crossed the sea, they arrived in the land of Genesaret.

• 35And when the men of that place had recognized him, they sent into all that region, and they brought to him all who had maladies.

• 36And they petitioned him, so that they might touch even the hem of his garment. And as many as touched it were made whole.
