Matthew 14:17-32 - And they say unto him, We have here
but five loaves, and two fishes. [18] He said, Bring them hither
to me.[19] And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the
grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and
looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the
loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
[20] And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of
the fragments that remained twelve baskets full. [21] And
they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women
and children. [22] And straightway Jesus constrained his
disciples to get into a ship, and to go
before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes
away. [23] And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up
into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was
come, he was there alone. [24] But the ship
was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with
waves: for the wind was contrary. [25] And in
the fourth
watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the
sea. [26]
And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were
troubled, saying, It is a spirit; 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 on the water. [29] And he said,
Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on
the water, to go to Jesus. [30] But when he saw the wind
boisterous,
he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying,
Lord, save me. [31] And immediately Jesus stretched forth
his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of
little faith, wherefore didst thou
doubt? [32] And when they were come into the
ship,
the wind
ceased.
