In this episode, we dig into the fascinating way John tells the story of Jesus walking on water—a familiar miracle but with some big differences in John’s version. Clint and Michael discuss why John leaves out key details found in other Gospels, like Peter walking on the water, and instead focuses on Jesus' powerful words, “It is I; do not be afraid.” What’s behind this unique telling? They explore how John emphasizes the disciples' journey to understanding Jesus as “I Am,” a claim deeply tied to God’s identity. The conversation also touches on the complex relationship Jesus has with crowds in John, who often seek him for what he can do rather than who he is.
