15. JESUS WALKS ON WATER

1. Jesus Walks on Water

Jesus commanded his disciples to get into a boat and go to the other side until late at night. Seeing them exhausted from rowing, since the wind was against them, Jesus went towards them, walking on the sea. They thought it was a ghost, but the Master spoke to them: "Do not be afraid. Take heart! It is I."

"Let me go with you, Master" - Peter said - "Come!" - the Lord replied. Peter got out of the boat and walked towards the Lord, but then he became afraid and began to sink. "Help me, Lord!" - he cried out. Jesus reached out his hand to him and said: "Why did you doubt, you of little faith?"
