In medio maris contrarius erat ventus. In imbre, in unda, in fluctibus levis Navicula levis, navicula iactabatur. Iam quarta vigilia noctis errabant, dolentes, lugentes; Ecce, ecce a longe, ecce ambulans super mare, ecce venit ad eos. Turbati sunt stupore, timore. Clamabant pavidi, "fantasma est!" Locutus est Iesus, "Ego sum. Veni et tu, Petrus, super aquas." Discessit e navicula, ambulavit, tremuit, precatus est Petrus: "In vento valido, in unda liquida cupes immergitur. Iam cado iam pereo! Me saluum fac, Iesu." Apprehendit, repprehendit eum Dominus: "Modicae fidei, quare dubitasti?" Clamabant undique gentes, "Fili[us] Dei vere, tu." Alleluia!

Au milieu de la mer le vent était contraire. Dans la pluie, dans les vagues, dans les flots le petit bateau léger était ballotté. Pendant la quatrième veille de la nuit ils erraient, souffrant, se lamentant ; Regardez, regardez là-bas, il marche sur la mer, regardez, il vient vers nous. Ils sont troublés de stupeur, de crainte. Ils criaient effrayés : « c'est un fantôme ! » Jésus parla : « C'est moi. Je suis venu et toi, Pierre, viens sur les eaux. » Il quitta le petit bateau, il avança, il trembla, Pierre priait : « Dans le vent violent, dans les vagues liquides, le bateau plonge. Maintenant je tombe, maintenant je péris ! Fais que je sois sauvé, Jésus. » Le Seigneur le saisit et lui reprocha : « Homme de peu de foi, pourquoi doutes-tu ? » De toutes parts ils criaient tous « Tu es vraiment le fils de Dieu. » Alléluia !
