It was about 3: He knew they were in trouble and scared and He went to comfort them. He actually walked on the water to them. Verse 25 in Matthew states that He walked on the sea! When the Disciples saw Jesus walking on the sea, they were scared and thought He was a ghost!
They cried out in terror! Peter said to Him: It is interesting and helpful to put all three accounts together. Matthew is the only one who records that Peter got out and walked to Jesus. Mark records that Jesus stood on the shore and could see the disciples straining at the oars even though they were 5 kilometres out and it was dark. He also mentions that Jesus was actually about to pass it by when the disciples saw him. The fourth, or last, watch of the night verse 25 would have been between a.

Many Jews at that time believed that the appearance of a spirit during the night brought disaster. When they heard the voice of Jesus Peter called out for confirmation.

Others have mentioned how he took his eyes off of Jesus. Whatever we have to say about Peter remember that Peter was the only one who actually got out of the boat and stepped into the waves. Also, he knew the right person to call out to when he began to sink.
He asked Jesus to save him. Jesus asked Peter why he doubted. But remember, Peter seemed to have more faith than anyone else on the boat that night. Who do we put our faith in? Is it our family or our friends? Do we hold the church or church leaders responsible when we fall? Who do we look to for salvation?
Ask how many of the children know how to swim.
Daily Bible Verse:
Spend some time talking about fun that you have had in the water. How do you float? Can anyone float on your back? Can anyone float in the water standing up? Jesus and his disciples had been around crowds of people for a long time. Now Jesus wanted to spend a little time alone so he could pray. In the evening he told his disciples to get in the boat and row over to the other side of the lake which is called the Sea of Galilee.
The disciples set out in the boat and Jesus went up to the mountainside to pray. The water in the lake was rough. The disciples had to row very hard. Jesus had finished praying and he looked out on the lake and saw them trying to row. Actually, this was amazing that Jesus could see four or five kilometres out in the lake even though it was dark. Jesus began walking out on the water as if it was dry land. He did not swim or tread water. He just walked on top of the water but did not sink.
What do you think the disciples thought when they watched him walking by? The disciples were very afraid. They did not think it was Jesus walking by. They thought it was a ghost floating by.
