Jesus Walks on Water

22Immediately after this,
Jesus made his disciples get
back into the boat and across
to the other side of the lake
while he sent the people
home.
23Afterwards, he went up
into the hills by himself to
pray. Night fell while he was
there alone.
24Meanwhile, the disciples
were in trouble far away from
land, for a strong wind had
risen, and they were fighting
heavy waves.

 25About three oclock in the morning Jesus came to them, walking

on the water.
26When the disciples saw him, they screamed in terror, thinking
He was a ghost.
27But Jesus spoke to them at once. Its all right, He said. I am
here dont be afraid.
28Then Peter called Him, Lord, if its really You, tell me to come
to you by walking on water.
29All right, come, Jesus said.
So Peter went over the side of the boat and walked on the water
toward Jesus.

 30But when he looked around at the high waves, he was terrified

and began to sink.
Save me, Lord! he shouted.
31Instantly, Jesus reached out his hand and grabbed him. You
dont have much faith, Jesus said. Why did you doubt Me?
32And when they climbed back into the boat the wind stopped.

 33Then the disciples worshipped Him.

You really are the Son of God! they exclaimed.
34After they had crossed the lake, they landed at Gennesaret.
35The news of their arrival spread quickly throughout the whole
surrounding area, and soon the people were bringing all their
sick to be healed.
36The sick begged him to let them touch even the fringe of his
robe, and all who touched it were healed.

Practice
There were five scouts hiking in
the forest. They saw a hunters
rifle on their way.
1) Albert exclaimed What a gun!
I havent seen one like this!
2) Dont hold it, boys. You
might pull the trigger, warned
Gio, the oldest among them.
3) Franz said, Lets take this.
4)I think we shouldnt, said
Ponci. The owner of it could be
around and maybe he just left this
gun here.
5) Oh, poor us. We cant have
it!
