The Gospel of John – Walk on Water

This is the by far one my favourite signs and wonders Jesus performs. In this part of John's account of the Gospel, Jesus walks on water, we'll get to the details in a bit. There are similar accounts of this story in the Gospel of Matthew 14:22-33 and Mark 6: 45-52, but it is only…

The feeding of the 5 000 comes…
