The account of Jesus walking on the water is recorded three times in the scriptures. It’s significant to note that Matthew, Mark, and John, three of Jesus’ disciples, are who recount the story.
Luke was not a disciple of Jesus during his earthly ministry and his gospel doesn’t mention Jesus walking on water.
This means the story of Jesus walking on water is recorded in three eyewitness reports, which authenticates its veracity. This is significant because walking on water is a miracle.
Why did Jesus walk on the water? What does it mean?
Some scholars find parallels in this story to Moses in the Old Testament leading the children of Israel through the Red Sea during Passover.
Here, we won’t dive as deep into symbolism. Instead, we’ll look at the three recordings of the story, all of which took place immediately after Jesus fed the crowd of five thousand, to find the meaning for us today.
