Out on the lake the wind blew hard against the boat, and the disciples rowed all night. Near morning Jesus came to them, walking on the water. They cried out that it was a ghost. Jesus called out to take heart, it was him, and not to be afraid. Peter asked to come to him on the water, and Jesus said come.
