Jesus Walks on Water in Gospel of Matthew (Matthew 14:22‑34)

The Gospel passage recounts that Jesus sent his disciples ahead in a boat while he went up a mountain to pray. During the night a strong wind battered the boat, and the disciples feared they were seeing a ghost. Jesus approached, walking on the sea, and told them, “Take courage, it is I; do not be afraid.” Peter asked to come to him on the water; Jesus invited him, and Peter walked briefly before fear of the wind caused him to sink, prompting a plea for rescue. Jesus immediately reached out, rebuked his doubt, and the wind ceased. The disciples then worshipped him, acknowledging him as the Son of God. Both articles present the same text in Greek, offering a liturgical reading of Matthew 14:22‑34.
