Matthew 14:26 directly parallels disciples' terror and cry of 'ghost'—a strong synoptic parallel.

In John 6:19, the disciples see Jesus walking on the sea and are frightened — the same reaction when they thought it was a ghost.

Luke 24:37 has disciples thinking Jesus is a spirit after resurrection—parallel reaction of fear and misidentification.

Job 4:14-16 describes fear at a spirit passing—similar to disciples' terror at thinking Jesus is a ghost.

Job 9:8 depicts God trampling the sea—Jesus' walking on water echoes divine power, but disciples mistake him for a ghost.
