Matthew 14:29 is a verse in the fourteenth chapter of the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament.

In the original Greek according to Westcott-Hort, this verse reads:

Ὁ δὲ εἶπεν, Ἐλθέ. Καὶ καταβὰς ἀπὸ τοῦ πλοίου ὁ Πέτρος περιεπάτησεν ἐπὶ τὰ ὕδατα, ἐλθεῖν πρὸς τὸν Ἰησοῦν.

In the King James Version of the Bible the text reads:

And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.

The New International Version translates the passage as:

"Come," he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus.

Analysis

This verse shows the remarkable faith of Peter in Jesus. It is said that the Lord worked this miracle either by keeping Peter up with divine power, or by making the water firm and solid.[1][2]
