At that time: Jesus went about all the cities, and towns, teaching in their Synagogues, and preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom, and curing every disease, and every infirmity. And seeing the multitudes, he pitied them; because they were vexed, and lay like sheep that have not a shepherd. Then he saith to his Disciples: The harvest surely is great, but the workmen are few. Pray therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth workmen into his harvest.

   After feeding the crowd, Jesus forthwith commanded his Disciples to go up into the boat, and to go before him over the water, till he dismissed the multitudes. And having dismissed the multitude, he ascended into a mountain alone to pray. And when it was evening, he was there alone. But the boat in the midst of the sea was tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary. And in the fourth watch of the night, he came unto them walking upon the sea. And seeing him upon the sea walking, they were troubled saying: That it is a ghost: & for fear they cried out. And immediately Jesus spake unto them, saying: Have confidence: it is I, fear ye not. And Peter making answer said: Lord if it be thou, bid me come to thee upon the waters. And he said, Come. And Peter descending out of the boat, walked upon the water to come to Jesus. But seeing the wind rough, he was afraid: and when he began to be drowned, he cried out saying: Lord, save me. And incontinent Jesus stretching forth his hand took hold of him, and said unto him: O thou of little faith, why didst thou doubt? And when they were gone up into the boat, the wind ceased. And they that were in the boat, came and adored him, saying: Indeed thou art the Son of God. And having passed the water, they came into the country of Genesar. And when the men of that place understood of him, they sent into all that country, and brought unto him all that were ill at ease: and they besought him that they might touch but the hem of his garment, and whosoever did touch, were made whole.
