Peter Walks on the Water | Scripture Story Sketch Notes | Printable PDF

A hand-drawn, doodle-style study of the night Peter walked on the water, built around the Savior who came to His disciples in the storm and reached out His hand (Matthew 14:22–33).

Follow a numbered map across the Sea of Galilee through the fourth watch, then look closer at the details Matthew included. Cultural context and Greek word studies help, while the focus stays on Jesus: “Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.”

What's Inside

• Cover with a numbered night-sea map and a contents list
• The story, plainly: six scenes from evening to dawn, “Look to Him” notes, and the hard King James words explained
• Look closer: nine detail cards to cover, guess and uncover
• Where are you tonight? In the boat, stepping out, sinking or worshipping, with check-ins
• Eyes on the Light: a drawing and writing activity
• Their world, their words: the lake, the fourth watch, the boat, and two Greek word studies (egō eimi, distazō)
• Look to Him: what prophets have taught, with other scripture alongside
• Eyes on Him today: the Savior's question, a seven-day tracker, talk-about questions and verses to hold
• Go deeper: summaries and links for adult and deeper study
• Sources: every quotation and gloss cited with links (scripture first, then Church sources, then labeled outside sources)

Perfect For

• Personal and family Come, Follow Me study of Matthew 14, Mark 6 and John 6
• Family home evening
• Primary, Sunday School, youth and seminary teachers
• Adults who want a deeper, well-sourced study
