1688 Biblical Disciple Disciples Doubt Faith Gospel Jesus Matthew Miracle Miracles Peter Sink Sinking Testament Walk Walks
St. Peter Walks on the Sea Towards Jesus
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating 17th-century artwork depicting a pivotal moment from the New Testament's Gospel of Matthew (14:22-33). This evocative print, created around 1688, showcases the profound faith and doubt-filled journey of St. Peter, one of Jesus' twelve disciples. The image opens with the Apostle Peter, standing in the small boat with the other disciples, gazing intently at Jesus, who is calmly walking towards them on the tranquil sea. The disciples, initially fearful of the stormy waters, are now astonished by the sight of their Master defying the natural elements. Peter, filled with curiosity and faith, calls out to Jesus, "Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water." Jesus responds, "Come," and Peter, stepping out of the boat, begins to walk on the water towards his Master. However, as he takes his eyes off Jesus and focuses on the tumultuous sea, he begins to sink. Jesus, ever the compassionate savior, reaches out a hand to help Peter regain his footing. This powerful print beautifully encapsulates the themes of faith, doubt, and the miraculous nature of Jesus' ministry. The artist masterfully portrays the serene and resolute Jesus, contrasted with the anxious and wavering Peter, highlighting the importance of maintaining focus on one's beliefs and trust in the divine. The artwork is a testament to the enduring power of the biblical narrative and the human capacity for both faith and doubt.
