'And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea. And
when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is
a spirit; and they cried out for fear. But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying,
Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid. And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it
be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. And he said, Come. And when Peter was
come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus' (Matthew 14:259).
