Bible verse
“Lord, if it is You,” Peter replied, “command me to come to You on the water.”
Matthew 14:28 · BSB
The verses around it, from Matthew 14.
24 but the boat was already far from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it.
25 During the fourth watch of the night, Jesus went out to them, walking on the sea.
26 When the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost!” they said, and cried out in fear.
27 But Jesus spoke up at once: “Take courage! It is I. Do not be afraid.”
28 “Lord, if it is You,” Peter replied, “command me to come to You on the water.”
29 “Come,” said Jesus. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water, and came toward Jesus.
30 But when he saw the strength of the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”
31 Immediately Jesus reached out His hand and took hold of Peter. “You of little faith,” He said, “why did you doubt?”
32 And when they had climbed back into the boat, the wind died down.
