Peter said to Him, "Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water."I always wonder what Peter was thinking in making this request. At first glance, it appears he's asking for proof of who Jesus is. But what would have stopped a demon or imposter or whatever could do that from telling him to come out, then he steps over the side and sinks like a stone.
So, what is he asking about, if not for confirmation of Jesus' identity? Was there some kind of power transferred to Peter that he could sense, and therefore knew it would be safe? But if that's the case, why did he start to doubt if he could still feel the power?
