Matthew 14:28-29,
“And Peter answered him, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the
water.” So he said, “Come.” Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the
water, and came toward Jesus.”
Philo - Allegorical
Interpretation III (172) There is a certain peculiarity which is attached to
this Word. For when it calls the soul to itself, it excites a congealing power
in everything which is earthly, or corporeal, or under the influence of the
external senses. On which account it is said to be "like the hoar-frost on
the Earth."{Exodus 16:16.} For when the man who beholds God, meditates a
flight from the passions, "the waves are frozen," that is to say, the
impetuous rush, and the increase, and the haughty pride of the waves are
arrested, in order that he who might behold the living God might then pass over
the Passion.{Exodus 16:15.}
