So Peter went over the side of the boat and walked on the water toward Jesus. But when he saw the strong wind and the waves, he was terrified and began to sink. \u201cSave me, Lord!\u201d he shouted. Jesus immediately reached out and grabbed him. \u201cYou have so little faith,\u201d Jesus said.\u201cWhy did you doubt me?\u201d When they climbed back into the boat, the wind stopped.
