Excerpt: ...asked when we turn to another narrative, where Jesus is described walking on the sea towards the ship in which his disciples are tossed, by night, and the storm as miraculously subsiding! It is omitted by Luke; but the three other Evangelists have it. (John 6 ch. I5 v. Matth. 14 ch. 22 v. Mark 8 ch. 45 v.)
