Matthew 14: 22-33 - 'Jesus walks on the water.'

Catechism of the Catholic Church Paragraphs:

- 448 (in 'Lord') - Very often in the Gospels people address Jesus as "Lord". This title testifies to the respect and trust of those who approach him for help and healing. At the prompting of the Holy Spirit, "Lord" expresses the recognition of the divine mystery of Jesus. In the encounter with the risen Jesus, this title becomes adoration: "My Lord and my God!" It thus takes on a connotation of love and affection that remains proper to the Christian tradition: "It is the Lord!"

0:00.0	Hi everyone. Welcome back once again to logical Bible study. We're continuing to look at the
0:15.5	Gospel of Matthew, really diving into the text and seeing what the riches are that are there on the
0:20.3	literal level.
0:21.1	That's what we're all about in this podcast, helping you get at the literal sense of the text.
0:26.6	What does it mean on the most fundamental level, which is where we're supposed to start
0:30.3	as Catholics when we're studying the Bible?
0:33.2	So we're looking today at Matthew chapter 14, verses 22 to 33.
0:39.3	And I think this will be a familiar passage for most of you who are listening.
0:43.2	But I think there's also some things in here that you might have missed before as well.
0:48.1	So Matthew 14, Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead to the other side, while he would
0:55.7	send the crowds away. After sending the crowds away, he went up into the hills by himself to pray.
1:03.4	When evening came, he was there alone, while the boat, by now far out on the lake, was battling
1:10.1	with a heavy sea, for there was a headwind.
1:13.8	In the fourth watch of the night, he went towards them, walking on the lake.
1:19.5	And when the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified.
1:24.1	It is a ghost, they said, and they cried out in fear.
1:28.4	But at once Jesus called out to them saying,
1:31.7	Courage, it is I. Do not be afraid.
1:35.8	It was Peter who answered.
1:38.1	Lord, he said, if it is you, tell me to come to you across the water.
1:43.7	Come, said Jesus.
1:46.1	Then Peter got out of the boat and started walking towards Jesus across the water.
