This story, following the miracle of the <a href="/wiki/Feeding_the_multitude" title="Feeding the multitude">feeding of the five thousand</a>, tells how <a href="/wiki/Jesus" title="Jesus">Jesus</a> sent the <a href="/wiki/Disciple_(Christianity)" title="Disciple (Christianity)">disciples</a> by ship back to the "other side" of the <a href="/wiki/Sea_of_Galilee" title="Sea of Galilee">Sea of Galilee</a> (the western side) while he remained behind, alone, to pray. Night fell and the sea arose as the ship became caught in a wind storm. After rowing against the wind for most of the night, the disciples saw Jesus walking on the water. They were frightened, thinking that they were seeing a spirit, but when Jesus told them not to be afraid, they were reassured. After Jesus entered the ship, the wind ceased, and they arrived at land. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Biblical_narratives">Biblical narratives</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Jesus_walking_on_water&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Biblical narratives"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Stained_glass,_Edinburgh.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9a/Stained_glass%2C_Edinburgh.jpg/260px-Stained_glass%2C_Edinburgh.jpg" decoding="async" width="260" height="347" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9a/Stained_glass%2C_Edinburgh.jpg/390px-Stained_glass%2C_Edinburgh.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9a/Stained_glass%2C_Edinburgh.jpg/520px-Stained_glass%2C_Edinburgh.jpg 2x" data-file-width="3240" data-file-height="4320" /></a><figcaption>Jesus walking on water in <a href="/wiki/Stained_glass" title="Stained glass">stained glass</a>, <a href="/wiki/St_Giles%27_Cathedral" title="St Giles' Cathedral">St Giles' Cathedral</a></figcaption></figure> <p>The story of Jesus walking on water is retold in the gospels of <a href="/wiki/Gospel_of_Matthew" title="Gospel of Matthew">Matthew</a>, <a href="/wiki/Gospel_of_Mark" title="Gospel of Mark">Mark</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Gospel_of_John" title="Gospel of John">John</a>; it is not in the <a href="/wiki/Gospel_of_Luke" title="Gospel of Luke">Gospel of Luke</a>.

all three accounts, after Jesus got into the ship, the wind ceased and they reached the shore. Only John's account has their ship immediately reach the shore. Matthew's and Mark's accounts end at this point, but John mentions that the next day some people from the other side of the sea that looked for Jesus, noted that the disciples left without him, but they didn't know where he went. When they came to Capernaum and asked Jesus how he came there, instead of answering the question, he told the crowd that they followed him, not because they had seen signs, but because of the free loaves they had eaten the day before, and he advised them not to seek earthly gains, but aim for a life based on higher spiritual values.<sup id="cite_ref-CoxEasley_1-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-CoxEasley-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Kingsbury_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Kingsbury-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Gospel_of_Mark_(c._66–70_AD)"><span id="Gospel_of_Mark_.28c._66.E2.80.9370_AD.29"></span>Gospel of Mark (c. 66–70 AD)</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Jesus_walking_on_water&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Gospel of Mark (c. 66–70 AD)"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1244412712">.mw-parser-output .templatequote{overflow:hidden;margin:1em 0;padding:0 32px}.mw-parser-output .templatequotecite{line-height:1.5em;text-align:left;margin-top:0}@media(min-width:500px){.mw-parser-output .templatequotecite{padding-left:1.6em}}</style><blockquote class="templatequote"><p><b>6</b>:45 And straightway he constrained his disciples to enter into the boat, and to go before him unto the other side to Bethsaida, while he himself sendeth the multitude away. 46 And after he had taken leave of them, he departed into the mountain to pray. 47 And when even was come, the boat was in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land. 48 And seeing them distressed in rowing, for the wind was contrary unto them, about the fourth watch of the night he cometh unto them, walking on the sea; and he would have passed by them: 49 but they, when they saw him walking on the sea, supposed that it was a ghost, and cried out; 50 for they all saw him, and were troubled.

Initially Jesus collects the <a href="/wiki/Apostles_in_the_New_Testament" title="Apostles in the New Testament">Apostles</a> on a boat and sends them away alone, to go alone to the mountain to pray, but promising to meet them on the other side of the "sea"; the apostles have difficulty in reaching the other shore, but Jesus appears and everything ends well. According to Meier this is a metaphor of the Early Church immediately after <a href="/wiki/Easter" title="Easter">Easter</a>: Jesus leaves his disciples with the ascension promising to return, but occasionally visits them during the journey to support them (through the <a href="/wiki/Eucharist" title="Eucharist">Eucharist</a>).
