Isaiah 43:2 promises God's presence when passing through waters — here Jesus walks on water, showing He is that divine presence.

In Matthew 14:27-31, the same storm story adds Peter walking on water and Jesus saving him — deepening the 'do not be afraid' moment.

In Mark 6:50, Jesus says the same words 'It is I; do not be afraid' — a direct parallel account of this event.

In Revelation 1:17, the glorified Jesus says 'Do not be afraid; I am the first and the last' — the same 'I am' and comfort in a divine revelation.

In Mark 4:40, Jesus rebukes his disciples' fear during an earlier storm — showing a pattern of addressing fear on the water.

In Matthew 28:10, the risen Jesus tells the women 'Do not be afraid' — the same comforting command after his resurrection.
