The liberal critics of Scripture who reject Christ’s divinity don’t like this passage. For many decades they’ve tried to explain it away. Some have said that the disciples merely dreamed it. It was some sort of mass hallucination. Others that some later believer added it to Matthew’s Gospel to buttress Christian belief. And I remember running across one critic whose explanation was: “Jesus knew where the stones were!” Walking on water is a human impossibility, unless you’re walking on ice, and the Sea of Galilee never freezes. Miracles are miracles. They cannot be explained only believed.
