FEED-ING THE MUL-TI-TUDE.
The twelve were in the boat, out in the midst of the sea.
Their oars were of no use, for the wind blew hard the wrong way, and drove them back from their course, and made the waves toss the boat here and there.
Je-sus could see it all from his high place on the hill, and in the night he went down to the shore and walked out on the sea.
When the twelve saw him they were in a great fright, for they thought it was a ghost, and they cried out in their fear.
Je-sus said, Be of good cheer. It is I.
Pe-ter spoke from the boat, and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come to thee on the sea. Je-sus said to him, Come, and Pe-ter came out of the boat and walked on the waves to go to Je-sus. But when he heard the noise of the wind, and saw the waves dash all round him, he was in great fear; and as he felt him-self sink he cried out, Lord, save me.
