22 When Jesus heard them say, All hail the king! he called the twelve and bade them take their boats and go before him to the other side;

23 And he went all alone into a mountain pass to pray.

24 The twelve were on the sea and hoped to reach Capernaum in just a little time, when all at once a fearful storm arose, and they were at the mercy of the waves.

25 And in the fourth watch of the night the wind became a whirling wind, and they were filled with fear.

26 And in the blinding storm they saw a form move on the waves; it seemed to be a man, and one spoke out and said, It is a ghost, a sign of evil things.

27 But John discerned the form and said, It is the Lord.

28 And then the wind blew not so hard, and Peter, standing in the midst, exclaimed,

29 My Lord! my Lord! If this be truly you, bid me to come to you upon the waves.

30 The form reached forth his hand and said, Come on.

31 And Peter stepped upon the waves and they were solid as a rock; he walked upon the waves.
