But when they saw him walking on the water, they thought he was a ghost and cried out.
He alone stretches out the skies and walks on the waves of the sea.
He saw his followers struggling hard to row the boat, because the wind was blowing against them. Between three and six o’clock in the morning, Jesus came to them, walking on the water, and he wanted to walk past the boat.
They all saw him and were afraid. But quickly Jesus spoke to them and said, “Have courage! It is I. Do not be afraid.”
They were fearful and terrified and thought they were seeing a ghost.
