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]
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.
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."
Herod Antipas (Herod the tetrarch) was the son of Herod who was king when Jesus was born (Matthew 2:1) and reigned over Galilee when Jesus performed his ministry in the area (cf. Mark 6:14–29; Luke 9:7–9; 3:19–20). [1]
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.
Rabanus Maurus: "Lastly, Theodorus wrote that the Lord had not bodily weight in respect of His flesh, but without weight walked on the sea. But the catholic faith preaches the contrary; for Dionysius says that He walked on the wave, without the feet, being immersed, having bodily weight, and the burden of matter."
The first verse refers to God the Father fixing limits for the sea as described in Job 38:8-11 and Psalm 104:6-9. The second verse refers to Jesus' miracles of calming the storm in Matthew 8:23-27, Mark 4:35:41, and Luke 8:22-25 and walking on the waters of the Sea of Galilee in Mark 6:45-53, Matthew 14:22-34, and John 6:15-21.
