Matthew 14:28-33 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

3-4. Herod had earlier arrested John and had him chained and put in prison. He did this because John had told him, “It isn't right for you to take Herodias, the wife of your brother Philip.”

28. Peter replied, “Lord, if it is really you, tell me to come to you on the water.”

29. “Come on!” Jesus said. Peter then got out of the boat and started walking on the water towards him.

30. But when Peter saw how strong the wind was, he was afraid and started sinking. “Save me, Lord!” he shouted.

31. Straight away, Jesus reached out his hand. He helped Peter up and said, “You don't have much faith. Why do you doubt?”

32. When Jesus and Peter got into the boat, the wind died down.

33. The men in the boat worshipped Jesus and said, “You really are the Son of God!”
