The Lord, the God of Israel, said to me, "Write down in a book everything that I have told you."
- Jeremiah 30:1-2, 12-15, 18-22
Jesus Walks on the Water
Then Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead to the other side of the lake, while he sent the people away.
After sending the people away, he went up a hill by himself to pray. When evening came, Jesus was there alone; and by this time the boat was far out in the lake, tossed about by the waves, because the wind was blowing against it.
Between three and six o'clock in the morning Jesus came to the disciples, walking on the water. When they saw him walking on the water, they were terrified. "It's a ghost!" they said, and screamed with fear.
Jesus spoke to them at once. "Courage!" he said. "It is I. Don't be afraid!"
Then Peter spoke up. "Lord, if it is really you, order me to come out on the water to you."
"Come!" Answered Jesus. So Peter got out of the boat and started walking on the water to Jesus. But when he noticed the strong wind, he was afraid and started to sink in the water. "Save me, Lord!" he cried.
At once Jesus reached out and grabbed hold of him and said, "What little faith you have! Why did you doubt?"
They both got into the boat, and the wind died down. Then the disciples in the boat worshipped Jesus. "Truly you are the son of God!" they exclaimed.
Jesus Heals the Sick in Gennesaret
They crossed the lake and came to land at Gennesaret, where the people recognized Jesus. So they sent for the sick people in all the surrounding country and brought them to Jesus. They begged him to let the sick at least touch the edge of his cloak; and all who touched it were made well.
- Matthew 14:22-36

The Lord says to his people, "Your wounds are incurable, your injuries cannot be healed. There is no one to take care of you, no remedy for your sores, no hope of healing for you.
All your lovers have forgotten you; they no longer care about you. I have attacked you like an enemy; your punishment has been harsh because your sins are many and your wickedness is great.
Complain no more about your injuries; there is no cure for you. I punished you like this because your sins are many and your wickedness is great.
The Lord says, "I will restore my people to their land and have mercy on every family; Jerusalem will be rebuilt, and its palace restored.
The people who live there will sing praise; they will shout for joy. By my blessing they will increase in numbers; my blessing will bring them honor.
I will restore the nation's ancient power and establish it firmly again; I will punish all who oppress them.
Their ruler will come from their own nation, their prince from their own people. He will approach me when I invite him, for who would dare come uninvited? They will be my people, and I will be their God. I, the Lord, have spoken."
- Jeremiah 30:1-2, 12-15, 18-22
