What does the Bible say about Jesus walking on water?

Answered in 15 sources

The Bible narrates that Jesus walked on water to reach his disciples during a storm, demonstrating his divine power and mastery over nature.

In Matthew 14:22-33, we see one of the most remarkable miracles performed by Jesus—his ability to walk on water. While his disciples were struggling against a fierce storm, Jesus approached them, walking on the sea. This extraordinary event took place after he had just fed the five thousand, showing his divine authority over both nature and life itself. The disciples initially mistook him for a ghost, but Jesus reassured them with the words 'It is I; be not afraid.' This miracle not only serves to demonstrate Jesus's divinity but also illustrates the theme of faith amidst fear. When Peter steps out to walk on the water, he does so through faith that trusts in Jesus's word, showing that God-given faith empowers believers to do the impossible when they focus on Christ instead of their circumstances.
