Popular Bible Verses from Matthew 14

But when he saw the strength of the wind and the threatening waves, he became afraid and took his eyes off Jesus. As he began to sink into the water, he cried out desperately, “Lord, save me!” Immediately Jesus reached out His hand, caught him and rescued him, and said to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt when you were doing well?”

But when he saw the strength of the wind and the threatening waves, he became afraid and took his eyes off Jesus. As he began to sink into the water, he cried out desperately, “Lord, save me!”

But immediately Jesus spoke to them to calm their fear: “Take courage and be confident! It is I—do not be afraid of Me.”

Peter answered Him impulsively, “Lord, if it is really You and not a spirit, command me to come to You on the water.” Jesus said, “Come.” So Peter got out of the boat in faith, walked on the water, and came toward Jesus successfully.

Then those who were in the boat worshipped Him with reverence and awe, declaring with conviction, “Truly You are the Son of God—divine in nature and power!”

But Jesus told them, testing their faith, “They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat from your own resources.” They answered with dismay, “We have nothing here except five loaves of bread and two fish—wholly inadequate for such a crowd.”

Jesus said with calm confidence, “Bring them here to Me.” He directed the crowds to sit down on the grass in an orderly manner in a relaxed manner. Taking the five loaves and two fish in His hands and looking up to heaven in dependence on the Father, He gave thanks and blessed the food. After breaking the loaves into pieces, He gave them to the disciples, and the disciples distributed them to the crowds continuously.

They all ate and were completely satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve full baskets of leftover broken pieces—more than they started with, demonstrating abundance.
