John 6
16 When evening came, his disciples went down to the lake, 17 where they got into a
boat and set off across the lake for Capernaum. By now it was dark, and Jesus had not
yet joined them. 18 A strong wind was blowing and the waters grew rough. 19 When
they had rowed about three or four miles,[b] they saw Jesus approaching the boat,
walking on the water; and they were frightened. 20 But he said to them, It is I; dont
be afraid. 21 Then they were willing to take him into the boat, and immediately the
boat reached the shore where they were heading.

Matthew 14:22-33
22 Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to
the other side, while he dismissed the crowd. 23 After he had dismissed them, he went
up on a mountainside by himself to pray. Later that night, he was there alone, 24 and
the boat was already a considerable distance from land, buffeted by the waves because
the wind was against it.
25 Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. 26 When the
disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. Its a ghost, they said, and
cried out in fear.

27 But Jesus immediately said to them: Take courage! It is I. Dont be afraid.

28 Lord, if its you, Peter replied, tell me to come to you on the water.
29 Come, he said.
Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. 30
But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, Lord, save
me!
31 Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. You of little faith, he said,
why did you doubt? 32 And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down.
33 Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, Truly you are the Son of
God.

Job 9:8
8 He alone stretches out the heavens and treads on the waves of the sea.
Psalm 89: 8,9,11,13
8 Who is like you, LORD God Almighty? You, LORD, are mighty, and your faithfulness
surrounds you. 9 You rule over the surging sea; when its waves mount up, you still
them. 11 The heavens are yours, and yours also the earth; you founded the world and
all that is in it. 13 Your arm is endowed with power; your hand is strong, your right
hand exalted.
