In Matthew 14:22-33, Mark 6:45-52, and John 6:16-21, the story of Jesus walking on water is told. After feeding a large crowd with only a few loaves and fish, Jesus sends his disciples ahead of him in a boat while he goes up on a mountain to pray. During the night, a storm arises and the boat is battered by the waves. In the early morning hours, Jesus comes to the disciples, walking on the water.
At first, the disciples are frightened, but Jesus reassures them and invites Peter to come out onto the water as well. However, Peter begins to doubt and starts to sink, but Jesus saves him. This story demonstrates Jesus' power over nature and his ability to save those who put their faith in him.
