24 But the boat was now in the middle of the sea, distressed by the waves, for the wind was contrary.
25 In the fourth watch of the night,{The night was equally divided into four watches, so the fourth watch is approximately 3:00 A. M. to sunrise.} Jesus came to them, walking on the sea.
26 When the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, 'It's a ghost!' and they cried out for fear.
27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying 'Cheer up! I AM!{see Exodus 3:14.} Don't be afraid.'
28 Peter answered him and said, 'Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the waters.'
