Jesus Walks on the Water

²² Immediately he made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead to the other side, while he dismissed the crowds.²³And after he had dismissed the crowds, he went up the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone,²⁴but by this time the boat, battered by the waves, was far from the land, for the wind was against them.²⁵And early in the morning he came walking towards them on the lake.²⁶But when the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified, saying, ‘It is a ghost!’ And they cried out in fear.²⁷But immediately Jesus spoke to them and said, ‘Take heart, it is I; do not be afraid.’

⁸ Let me hear what God the ^Lord will speak,   for he will speak peace to his people,   to his faithful, to those who turn to him in their hearts. ⁹ Surely his salvation is at hand for those who fear him,   that his glory may dwell in our land. ¹⁰ Steadfast love and faithfulness will meet;   righteousness and peace will kiss each other.¹¹ Faithfulness will spring up from the ground,   and righteousness will look down from the sky.¹² The ^Lord will give what is good,   and our land will yield its increase.¹³ Righteousness will go before him,   and will make a path for his steps.
