Jesus Walks on Water

As the day drew to a close Jesus sent his disciples away to Bethsaida. They went down to the lake and set off across the water to Capernaum. It was to be an eventful night.

Peter:
It had been a long hard day - I can tell you; and we were all grabbing a well- earned rest in my boat as we crossed over to Capernaum. You see, Jesus had been preaching most of the day and he had a habit of wearing the rest of us out with his enthusiasm. And to top it all he had done the refreshments for five thousand people. Anyway, usual story - he went off to a hill to pray, we went off in a boat to sleep. And that was when all the trouble began...
There I was, happily dreaming of owning my own fishing fleet, when suddenly it seemed like the whole of the lake had landed in my lap. Well, needless to say, I decided it was time to wake up. Unfortunately, so did everyone else, and there was a general state of panic.
The boat was bouncing around, disciples everywhere you looked, fish flying in your face.
Well, I thought we’d had it.
