"Jesus immediately reached out his hand and caught him, saying to him, "You of little faith,
why did you doubt?" Matthew 14:31 (NRSV)

Read Matthew 14:22-33.

It has been quite a day for Jesus as described in Matthew 14. After he learns of the death of his cousin John the Baptist, Jesus heads to a deserted place only to be interrupted by the thousands who gather to follow him. Jesus responds with compassion by healing and feeding them. On that day, thousands are fed with five loaves and two fish. (See Matthew 14:1-21) Afterwards, Jesus desires to return to a time of prayer and solitude, so he sends his disciples ahead of him.
