them: and about the fourth watch of the
night he cometh unto them, walking
upon the sea, and would have passed
by them.
49) But when they saw him walking
upon the sea, they supposed it had been

troubled. And immediately he talked
with them, and saith unto them, Be of
good cheer: it is I; be not afraid.

dead:

death, and doth deliver: in whom we
trust that he will yet deliver us;
