As he was walking along the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon (who is called Peter), and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the sea ​— ​for they were fishermen.

Suddenly, a violent storm arose on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by the waves ​— ​but Jesus kept sleeping.

He said to them, “Why are you afraid, you of little faith? ” Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm.

“Go! ” he told them. So when they had come out, they entered the pigs, and the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea and perished in the water.

On that day Jesus went out of the house and was sitting by the sea.

“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a large net thrown into the sea. It collected every kind of fish,

Meanwhile, the boat was already some distance[fn] from land,[fn] battered by the waves, because the wind was against them.

Moving on from there, Jesus passed along the Sea of Galilee. He went up on a mountain and sat there,

“But, so we won’t offend them, go to the sea, cast in a fishhook, and take the first fish that you catch. When you open its mouth you’ll find a coin.[fn] Take it and give it to them for me and you.”

“But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to fall away ​— ​it would be better for him if a heavy millstone were hung around his neck and he were drowned in the depths of the sea.

Jesus answered them, “Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you tell this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ it will be done.

“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to make one convert, and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a child of hell as you are!

Jesus went out again beside the sea. The whole crowd was coming to him, and he was teaching them.

Jesus departed with his disciples to the sea, and a large crowd followed from Galilee, and a large crowd followed from Judea,

Again he began to teach by the sea, and a very large crowd gathered around him. So he got into a boat on the sea and sat down, while the whole crowd was by the sea on the shore.

He got up, rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Silence! Be still! ” The wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

And they were terrified[fn] and asked one another, “Who then is this? Even the wind and the sea obey him! ”

They came to the other side of the sea, to the region of the Gerasenes.[fn]

So he gave them permission, and the unclean spirits came out and entered the pigs. The herd of about two thousand rushed down the steep bank into the sea and drowned there.

When Jesus had crossed over again by boat[fn] to the other side, a large crowd gathered around him while he was by the sea.

Well into the night, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and he was alone on the land.

“But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to fall away ​— ​it would be better for him if a heavy millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea.

“Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.

“It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea than for him to cause one of these little ones to stumble.

“If you have faith the size of[fn] a mustard seed,” the Lord said, “you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey you.

After this, Jesus crossed the Sea of Galilee (or Tiberias).

When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea,

The next day, the crowd that had stayed on the other side of the sea saw there had been only one boat.[fn] They also saw that Jesus had not boarded the boat with his disciples, but that his disciples had gone off alone.

When they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, “Rabbi, when did you get here? ”

After this, Jesus revealed himself again to his disciples by the Sea of Tiberias.[fn] He revealed himself in this way:

The disciple, the one Jesus loved, said to Peter, “It is the Lord! ”

When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he tied his outer clothing around him (for he had taken it off) and plunged into the sea.

When they heard this, they raised their voices together to God and said, “Master, you are the one who made the heaven, the earth, and the sea, and everything in them.
