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.
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.

Rembrandt had drawn a sketch in the same year titled Christ Walking on the Waves that depicts the event when Christ walked on the Sea of Galilee. [4] This sketch was based on a passage in Matthew 14:22-33 in which Christ walks on water toward his disciples in a fishing boat, and Peter attempts to walk toward Jesus but instead sinks and must be ...
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]
