Jesus preaches in a ship by James Tissot. This narrative is told in Matthew 13:1-3, [1] Mark 4:1, and Luke 5:1-3. [2] Owing to the vast crowds that followed him from the surrounding towns and villages to listen to his doctrine, Jesus retired to the sea coast. There he entered a boat, that he used as a pulpit, and addressed the crowd on the shore.
[6] at which Peter jumped into the water to meet him (an aspect of the story often illustrated in Christian art), while the remaining disciples followed in the boat, towing the net, which proved to be full of 153 large fish. The fish caught were later used by Jesus to cook some breakfast along with some bread for himself and for his disciples. [6]
The story is taken from the Gospel of Luke, where it is told that Jesus gave a sermon by the Sea of Galilee and performed various miracles. On the banks of the lake a large group of people had gathered around Jesus to hear the word of God. Jesus went on board the fishing boat of Peter (who was then called Simon) and spoke to the people from it.
In Luke, Simon Peter owns the boat that Jesus uses to preach to the multitudes who were pressing on him at the shore of Lake Gennesaret. [48] Jesus then amazes Simon and his companions James and John (Andrew is not mentioned) by telling them to lower their nets, whereupon they catch a huge number of fish. Immediately after this, they follow him ...
Jesus caught him, and commenting on his lack of faith led him back to the ship, whereupon the storm stopped. Matthew also notes that the disciples called Jesus the Son of God. [1] The fact that the John account also lacks this detail suggests that this account of "St. Peter's venture" [6] is a redactional addition by Matthew. [7]
This story, which appears only in Mark and Matthew, is also known as the miracle of the seven loaves of bread and few little fishes because the Gospel of Matthew refers to seven loaves and a few small fish used by Jesus to feed a multitude. [10] According to the Gospels, a large crowd had gathered and was following Jesus.
In the King James Version of the Bible the text reads: And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. The New International Version translates the passage as: "Come," he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus.
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]
