Just then Jesus called out to them, “Take courage and do not be afraid; it is I.”
And Jesus replied, “Come [ahead].” So, Peter climbed over the side of the boat and went to Jesus, walking on the water.
Peter then answered Him, “Look, we have left everything [i.e., homes, jobs, family, etc.], to follow you. What will we get for it?”
But Peter kept insisting emphatically, “Even if I have to die with you, still I will not deny [knowing] you.” And all the rest of the disciples spoke the same way.

And because of God’s unearned favor shown to me [i.e., in appointing me to be an apostle], I am telling every person among you not to think he is more important than he really is. Instead, he should have a sensible estimate [of his gifts] in harmony with the degree of faith God has given to each person.
But he should ask in faith, without doubting, because the person who doubts [that he will receive wisdom] is like an ocean wave that is driven and tossed by the wind.
