Mark 6:49 records the identical scene: the disciples cry out in fear, thinking Jesus is a ghost.

Mark 6:50 shows Jesus immediately calming their fear with 'Take heart; it is I. Do not be afraid.'

Revelation 1:17 shows John terrified by the glorified Christ, then Jesus says 'Fear not' — same pattern of fear then reassurance.

In Job 4:15, a spirit causes Eliphaz's hair to stand up — directly paralleling the disciples' terror at what they think is a ghost.

In Luke 24:37, the disciples also think they see a spirit and are terrified — exactly the same reaction as here to Jesus' appearance.

In John 6:19, the same event is described: the disciples see Jesus walking on water and are frightened.

In Genesis 45:3, Joseph's brothers are terrified when he reveals himself — a parallel to the disciples' fear at Jesus' unexpected appearance on the water.

In Mark 16:6, the angel tells the women not to be afraid at the empty tomb — a similar reassurance after a startling supernatural event.

Luke 24:5 recounts the women's fright at the tomb angels, paralleling the disciples' fear at the supernatural.

Acts 12:15 has people mistaking Peter for his angel, echoing the disciples' misidentification of Jesus as a ghost.
