Matthew 14:23-36 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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