After Jesus had finished speaking to a large crowd
of people,he said to his disciples,''Go down to the
boat and cross to the other side of the lake,''they
left him,and he sent the crowds home,when the last
stragglers were gone,he went further up the
mountainside to pray,the day had been long tiring,
he had taught the people,performed miracles,and
fed thousands of people.

He needed some quiet time to talk to his father,when
he finished praying,he went down to the shore,but the
disciple's boat driven by strong winds was already a
long way from the land,very early in the morning,Jesus
went out to them,the disciples saw him walking on the
water and they were terrified,''It must be a ghost!
''one of them cried.''

lam no ghost-lam Jesus,your teacher.''Lord,is it really
you?asked Peter,''if you are real,ask me to walk out
to you''come,Jesus said,so peter climbed out of the boat,
gingerly put his feet in the murky,green water,and soon
he was walking across the waves to the Master!suddenly,
terror seized him,he saw the storm clouds in the sky and
heard the crashing waves,and his faith failed him,he began
to sink,''Lord,save me!''peter shouted,Jesus reached out
his hand to peter and pulled him up out of the water,why
did you doubt?Jesus asked him,they climbed back in the
boat and the water was quiet.
