If you read Matthew 14 in its entirety, you will see the whole background of how Jesus came to walk on the water & ask Peter to get out of the boat and walk to Him. Also read John 6: 14 on > for his account.

Just sit right back & you’ll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip
That started from this tropic port aboard this tiny ship.
The mate was a mighty sailing man, The skipper brave & sure.
Five passengers set sail that day for a three hour tour,
A three hour tour
The weather started getting rough, the tiny ship was tossed,
If not for the courage of the fearless crew
The Minnow would be lost,
The Minnow would be lost.
The ship's a-ground on the shore of this uncharted desert isle
With Gilligan,
The Skipper too,
The millionaire and his wife,
The movie star
The Professor and Mary Ann,
Here on Gilligan's Isle.

The disciples saw him from the boat glowing and walking on water. One of the disciples (I believe Jesus brother or cousin) begain to walk on water to when jesus commanded it. But the disciple loss faith in God do to heavy wind and began to sink. Jesus grabbed him and bulled him up back onto the water and said something to the effect of, "yee of little faith."

It is not impossible to Jesus to walk in water.
The ships, submarine can walk also in the water.
Who is more powerful the invention of man or Jesus.
Have faith.
Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

The parable about Jesus walking on water is found in Matthew 14:22-32, Mark 6:45-52; and, John 6:16-21.
The apostles were in a boat at night. They saw Jesus walking on water towards them. At first, they thought he was a ghost & they were frightened. So, Jesus said to them: "Take courage. It is I. Don't be afraid."
Peter replied: "Lord, if it is you, tell me to come to you on the water." And, Jesus said: "come".
Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water towards Jesus. But when he saw the wind he was afraid and was beginning to sink, so he cried out: "Lord, save me."
Immediately, Jesus reached out his hand & caught him, and said: "You of little faith, why did you doubt?"
Peter was not putting Jesus to the test, something we are told not to do (Matthew 4:7). Instead he was the only one in the boat to react in faith. His impulsive request led him to experience an unusual demonstration of God's power. Peter started to sink because he took his eyes off Jesus and focused on the high waves around him. His faith wavered when he realized what he was doing.
We may not walk on water, but we do walk through tough situations. If we focus on the waves of difficult circumstances around us without looking to Jesus for help, we too may disappear and sink. To maintain your faith when situations are difficult, keep your eyes on Jesus' power rather than on your inadequacies.

That was the God part of Him that allowed Him to do that. Which made Him different from any other human ever on earth.
