Jesus sent His disciples across the lake in a boat while He went up a mountain to pray.
In the middle of the night, the wind was strong. Then they saw someone walking on the water! It was Jesus! Peter said, “Lord, let me come to you!” Jesus said, “Come!”
Peter walked on the water too! But when he looked at the wind and waves, he got scared and started to sink. “Lord, save me!” Jesus grabbed his hand right away.
