Matthew 14:22-33 Our true story comes from the Bible. It is found in the book, or part, of the Bible called Matthew. Matthew was one of the special helpers of Jesus. Our story begins on a beach. Jesus had been teaching people all day. Jesus told His friends, the disciples, to get into the boat and go across the lake. Jesus said goodbye to the crowd and went up on the mountain to pray by himself. While the disciples were in the boat, the wind began to blow. The wind blew harder and harder. Jesus’ friends tried to row to safety. But the disciples weren’t strong enough. They didn’t know what to do. But just then, they saw something on the water. It looked like a person! Jesus’ friends were scared. And they thought, "Could there really be a person walking on the water? No way. That’s impossible!" But remember: Who can do anything? Jesus can do anything.

Mark 6:31-44 Our true story comes from the Bible. It is in the part, or book, of the Bible called Mark. Mark loved Jesus and told people about Him. Jesus was on the beach.

Luke 5:1-7 Our true story comes from the Bible. It is in the part, or book, of the Bible called Luke. Luke loved Jesus and wanted others to know and love Jesus, too. Jesus was teaching a big crowd on a beach. Because Jesus is God’s Son, and He can do amazing things that no one else can do, everyone wanted to hear Him teach. The crowd grew so big that Jesus got into a boat to finish teaching so that all the people could see Him. The boat that Jesus got into belonged to a fisherman named Peter. When Jesus was done teaching, he said to Peter, "Let’s go fishing!" But Peter was tired. He had been up all night fishing and hadn’t caught a single fish. Not one! But Peter knew that Jesus was special and because Jesus said to throw out his nets into the water, he decided to try. Peter threw out the net and then Jesus did something no one else can do. Suddenly there were fish—not just one or two or ten but TONS of fish. There were so many fish that the net ...
