MR Jesus walks on sea

 The phrase “Jesus walking on the sea” refers to a well-known miracle described in the New Testament.

Biblical account

It appears in:

• Matthew 14:22–33
• Mark 6:45–52
• John 6:16–21

In these passages, Jesus walks on the Sea of Galilee toward his disciples’ boat during a storm. The disciples are frightened at first, thinking he is a ghost, but Jesus reassures them, saying, “It is I; do not be afraid.” In Matthew’s Gospel, Peter briefly walks on the water too, but begins to sink when he doubts, and Jesus saves him.

Meaning and significance

• Divine authority: The miracle shows Jesus’ power over nature, something attributed to God alone in Jewish tradition.
• Faith vs. fear: Especially through Peter’s experience, the story highlights trust in God despite fear.
• Revelation of identity: The event deepens the disciples’ understanding that Jesus is the Son of God.
