Luke doesn’t mention this event and only Matthew mentions Peter joining Jesus on the water. In Mark it says the apostles didn’t understand about the loaves. It can, therefore, be said that this miracle, following the feeding of the five thousand, was done so the apostles would finally believe and say, as is written in Matthew, “Truly you are the Son of God.” While it is possible to explained or rationalized some of the other miracles, like turning water in to wine or healing the sick, nothing can explain Jesus walking on water. This is a pivotal event for the Apostles.
