And when he entered into the boat his disciples did follow him,
and lo, a great tempest arose in the sea, so that the boat was being covered by the waves, but he was sleeping,
and his disciples having come to him, awoke him, saying, ‘Sir, save us; we are perishing.’
And he saith to them, ‘Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith?’ Then having risen, he rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm;
And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went away to them, walking upon the sea,
and the disciples having seen him walking upon the sea, were troubled saying — ‘It is an apparition,’ and from the fear they cried out;
and immediately Jesus spake to them, saying, ‘Be of good courage, I am [he], be not afraid.’
And Peter answering him said, ‘Sir, if it is thou, bid me come to thee upon the waters;’
and he said, ‘Come;’ and having gone down from the boat, Peter walked upon the waters to come unto Jesus,
but seeing the wind vehement, he was afraid, and having begun to sink, he cried out, saying, ‘Sir, save me.’
And immediately Jesus, having stretched forth the hand, laid hold of him, and saith to him, ‘Little faith! for what didst thou waver?’
that the proof of your faith — much more precious than of gold that is perishing, and through fire being approved — may be found to praise, and honour, and glory, in the revelation of Jesus Christ,
whom, not having seen, ye love, in whom, now not seeing and believing, ye are glad with joy unspeakable and glorified,
because every one who is begotten of God doth overcome the world, and this is the victory that did overcome the world — our faith;
