Walking on Water

Jesus sends His disciples away, dismisses the crowds and takes time to pray. Later He sees the disciples struggling at the oars because the wind was against them and goes to them, walking on the water. The disciples see Him and are terrified. He reassures them, gets into the boat and the wind stops. They are astonished because they had not learned from the feeding of the five thousand. Their hearts were still hard.
