Walking on Water, by Ivan Aivazovsky (1888). Jesus walking on the water, or on the sea, is recorded as one of the miracles of Jesus recounted in the New Testament.There are accounts of this event in three Gospels—Matthew, Mark, and John—but it is not included in the Gospel of Luke.
Chrysostom: "But He suffers them to be tossed the whole night, exciting their hearts by fear, and inspiring them with greater desire and more lasting recollection of Him; for this reason He did not stand by them immediately, but as it follows, in the fourth watch of the night he came to them walking upon the sea."
This narrative completes a total of five miracles connected with the sea: Jesus walking on the sea; Peter's walking on the sea with Jesus's aid; When sinking, Peter is raised; The sudden ceasing of the storm; The immediate arrival on land. From verse 33, it appears that both the sailors on the boat and the Apostles worshipped Jesus. [1] [2]
The Storm on the Sea of Galilee by Rembrandt, 1632. Calming the storm is one of the miracles of Jesus in the Gospels, reported in Matthew 8:23–27, Mark 4:35–41, and Luke 8:22–25 (the Synoptic Gospels). This episode is distinct from Jesus' walk on water, which also involves a boat on the lake and appears later in the narrative.
And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear. The New International Version translates the passage as: When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. "It's a ghost," they said, and cried out in fear.
For he said not, Bid me walk upon the waters, but, Bid me come unto thee. And it seems that having shown in the first miracle that He has power over the sea, He now leads them to a more powerful sign; He saith unto him, Come. And Peter, going forth of the boat, walked on the sea, that he might go to Jesus." [3]
John 6 is the sixth chapter of the Gospel of John in the New Testament of the Christian Bible.It records Jesus' miracles of feeding the five thousand and walking on water, the Bread of Life Discourse, popular rejection of his teaching, and Peter's confession of faith.
Chrysostom: "Observe how He leads all gradually to that which is above them; He had before rebuked the sea, now He shows forth His power yet more by walking upon the sea, by bidding another to do the same, and by saving him in his peril; therefore they said unto Him, Truly thou art the Son of God, which they had not said above."
