Walking on water
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Christianity portal
This article is about the miracle of walking on water. For the
details
of how some animals do walk on water, see Animal locomotion on the
surface layer of water.
For any song, album or film titled 'Walk on Water', see Walk on
Water.
Jesus takes Peter who failed to walk on water. (This image actually
depicts the incident in John's Gospel when Peter splashes through the
water to fall at the Risen Lord's feet and ask forgiveness.) Lluís
Borrassà, 1411 (Terrassa).Walking on water is one of the miracles
that
the Gospels attribute to Jesus. An account of the miracle appears in
the Gospels of John (John 6:16-21), of Matthew[1] and of Mark [2].
According to the Biblical narrative, Jesus sent the disciples in a
boat, ahead of him, to Bethsaida, but when they were half way across
the lake, Jesus walked over the lake and met them. The narrative
states that the disciples were scared at first, thinking it was a
ghost, but when Jesus revealed himself and got into the boat, they
calmed down. According to Matthew, Peter was also able to walk on
water, following Jesus's example[3].
Mark and John don't report this detail in their gospels, while at the
same time they don't deny it.
Walking on water has subsequently become a colloquialism used when a
seemingly impossible task is actually being managed.
In ancient Greek Mythology the giant hunter and son of the gods Orion
walked on water. Hindu, Buddhist [4], and Greek [5] traditions have
stories about characters walking on water.
An Egyptian story, told by another son named Bauefre, is set during
the reign of Khufu's father Sneferu. ... one of the girls loses an
amulet - ... The king laments this, and the chief lector folds aside
the water to allow the retrieval of the amulet, then folds the water
back. (This may be considered more closely equivalent to Moses's
Parting of the Red Sea than to the Walking on Water.)

[edit] Interpretive criticism
Walking on Water, by Ivan Aivazovsky (1888).In the second volume of A
Marginal Jew, subtitled Mentor, Message, and Miracles, John P. Meier
individually examines all the miracle stories in the gospels to
determine if, behind them, lay a historical kernel. He argues that
the
walking on water miracle is true theological narrative but not a
historical story. The oral tradition, he finds, is embedded with Old
Testament types (the declaration of Jesus 'I AM' is consonant with
the
early church view of him as Yahweh) and post-resurrection
perceptions.
In particular, the narrative of the story seems to fall into the
genre
of apocalyptic (which is not to say eschatological; apocalyptic is
here defined as a genre characterized by heavy symbolism and light-
dark contrasts). Jesus first herds the disciples into a boat and
casts
them off alone; he then goes up to a mountain to pray, promising them
he will meet them on the other side of the sea. The apostles have
difficulty reaching the other shore, but then Jesus appears and all
is
well. As in the resurrection accounts, the disciples see him as a
fish
before recognizing him. This is a metaphor, Meier asserts, for the
early post-Easter church. Jesus leaves his disciples in the ascension
while promising a return, but occasionally visits them in mid-journey
to sustain them (through the Eucharist). As with all apocalyptic
literature, it is meant to comfort a beleaguered community.
[edit] Contemporary Attempts
In August 2006 an African Evangelist Franck Kabele drowned trying to
emulate Jesus near Libreville, Gabon.
[edit] Cultural references and trivia
In this still image, the two dogs seem to walk above water.Besides
biblical references, the ability to walk on water is often present in
fiction in a manner designed to draw high degrees of awe.
In the music video for "Smokers Outside The Hospital Doors" by
Editors, appears a girl that walks on water.
In the film Ever After, actor Patrick Godfrey in the role of Leonardo
da Vinci walks on water in clog-like shoes, startling Cinderella
character Danielle De Barbarac (Drew Barrymore) as she is swimming.
In comic book fiction, the Flash runs at high speeds sufficient to
keep afloat on water. This is also parodied by Dash of the
Incredibles. Rev Runner of the Loonatics adaptation by Warner
Brothers
has also done this, as a parody of the Flash.
In the manga and anime Naruto, advanced ninja characters use chakra
control in the feet to be able to stand, run on, and bear weight on
water.
In episode 23 of the anime Sonic X, Sonic is able to run fast enough
to clear the polluted mud out of a shallow Chao stream, creating a
vortex which parts the waters like the eye of a storm. In episode 24
when driven berserk by a computer chip in his ear, after falling into
a deep lake, he is able to ascend to the top, running across the
water
to land, bringing a fish with him. This is important because in the
first episode, he was going to drown in the bottom of a swimming pool
because he could not float or swim and could not go fast enough to
create an ascension vortex, meaning he must have improved or the chip
makes him faster than he is normally able (though probably not to the
levels he can attain using a power ring or chaos emerald. He cannot
do
this in the games or movie.
In the movie Remo Williams the master runs across the water at the
end
of the movie.
In the Chinese wuxia martial arts genre, some warriors may be able to
fly or jump with the aid of the water's surface. This is never
explained by other than the depth of their training.
In the 1980's, André Kole, the innovative illusionist who tours on
behalf of Campus Crusade for Christ, created the illusion of walking
(actually standing) on water live on stage. The presentation involved
a large, open, transparent tank partly full of water. Stirring the
water randomly with a stick showed it to be free of invisible
supports. Kole stepped into the tank, where he was seemingly
supported
on the surface of the water, continuing to stir the water between and
around his feet. As more water poured into the tank, Kole rose about
14" with the rising water level. Kole devised and presented this
illusion to demonstrate that even on a small scale, apparatus and
staging was required that could not have existed in Christ's time.
Therefore, by Kole's logic, Christ's miracle was genuine.
In the television show Criss Angel Mindfreak, the title magician
performed an illusion in which he walked across the full length of a
swimming pool in front of an audience, with spectators actually
swimming around and under him (and even between his legs; he also
kicked off his shoes midway) during the stunt. However, according to
eyewitnesses, he was walking on transparent perspex struts; also no
one is seen swimming behind or in front of him, or where he had
previously placed his feet.
Two water striders mate on the surface.Rumor has it, On March 18,
2007, YouTube magician Anthony Bass walked on the water of the
Lewisville Lake in Little Elm, Texas as a publicity stunt and
promotion of his abilities.

in Kilika while she performs the sending.
In the conclusion to the comic Watchmen, Dr. Manhattan walks on
water,
for dramatic effect.
Towards the end of the film The Truman Show, Truman appears to walk
on
water at the edge of the world created for him.
The video for the song "Magic" by The Cars featured lead singer Ric
Ocasek walking on water in a swimming pool.
In the movie Bruce Almighty, both Bruce and God walk on water. The
shots were created by visual effects experts Bill Taylor, ASC and
David Williams II.

Sellers) walk out onto the surface of a lake.

Water".
