References: Jesus Walks on Water
Matthew 14:22-36
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. {33} Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped
him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God. {34} And when they were gone
over, they came into the land of Gennesaret. {35} And when the men of that place
had knowledge of him, they sent out into all that country round about, and
brought unto him all that were diseased; {36} And besought him that they might
only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly
whole.
Mark 6:45-56
And straightway he constrained his disciples to get into the ship, and to go to
the other side before unto Bethsaida, while he sent away the people. {46} And
when he had sent them away, he departed into a mountain to pray. {47} And when
even was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land.
{48} And he saw them toiling in rowing; for the wind was contrary unto them: and
about the fourth watch of the night he cometh unto them, walking upon the sea,
and would have passed by them. {49} But when they saw him walking upon the sea,
they supposed it had been a spirit, and cried out: {50} For they all saw him,
and were troubled. And immediately he talked with them, and saith unto them, Be
of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid. {51} And he went up unto them into the
ship; and the wind ceased: and they were sore amazed in themselves beyond
measure, and wondered. {52} For they considered not <the miracle> of the loaves:
for their heart was hardened. {53} And when they had passed over, they came into
the land of Gennesaret, and drew to the shore. {54} And when they were come out
of the ship, straightway they knew him, {55} And ran through that whole region
round about, and began to carry about in beds those that were sick, where they
heard he was. {56} And whithersoever he entered, into villages, or cities, or
country, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him that they might
touch if it were but the border of his garment: and as many as touched him were
made whole.
John 6:14-21
Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of
a truth that prophet that should come into the world. {15} When Jesus therefore
perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he
departed again into a mountain himself alone. {16} And when even was <now> come,
his disciples went down unto the sea, {17} And entered into a ship, and went
over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to
them. {18} And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew. {19} So when
they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking
on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the ship: and they were afraid. {20} But he
saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid. {21} Then they willingly received him
into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went.
