In the King James Version (KJV), the miracle of Jesus walking on the water is recorded in three of the Gospels: Matthew, Mark, and John.
Each account offers a slightly different perspective—Matthew’s account is the only one that includes Peter walking out onto the water as well.
Matthew 14:22–33
25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.

27 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, sa

Mark 6:45–52

20 But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid.
21 Then they willingly received him into the ship: a
