Why and who was the person who walked on water with Jesus?

Sincerely,
Can’t Swim

Dear Can’t Swim,

The name of the person was Peter; he was one of the apostles (Matt 10:2).  Peter was on the boat as Jesus approached, walking upon the water (Matt 14:24-26).  When Peter realized that it was Jesus, he asked to come out to Him on the water.  He wanted proof that it was really Jesus (Matt 14:28).  Peter is only the second man in all of history to walk on water.  Unfortunately, when he got scared and stopped having faith, he became the first man to walk on water and sink (Matt 14:29-31)… proving once again that faith is a decision, not just a feeling (Jas 2:18).
