I love this passage. It's powerful because it shows you the power of faith.

I love the corresponding story too..in Matthew 14

25 Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. 26 When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,”(D) they said, and cried out in fear.

27 But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage!(E) It is I. Don’t be afraid.”(F)

28 “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.”

29 “Come,” he said.

Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. 30 But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”

31 Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,”(G) he said, “why did you doubt?”

True faith can allow a mere mortal to walk on water.

Now does it make sense why governments have used fear to control for centuries?

Because without fear, there is true faith. Healing, reviving, walk on water, shoot lasers out of your eyes if so be it, do the impossible kind of faith.
