Jesus Walks on Water (Matthew 14:22-36)

 This story, tells how Jesus sent the disciples by ship back to the "other side" of the Sea of Galilee  while he remained behind, alone, to pray. Night fell and the sea arose as the ship became caught in a wind storm. After rowing against the wind for most of the night, the disciples saw Jesus walking on the water. They were frightened, thinking that they were seeing a spirit, but when Jesus told them not to be afraid, they were reassured. After Jesus entered the ship, the wind ceased, and they arrived at land.
