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.'
29 He said, 'Come!' Peter stepped down from the boat, and walked on the waters to come to Jesus.
