25During the fourth watch of the night, Jesus went out to them, walking on the sea.

28“Lord, if it is You,” Peter replied, “command me to come to You on the water.”

28Peter answered him, "Lord, if it's you, order 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.

30But when he saw the strength of the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”
