Tenth Sunday After Pentecost Water Walkers Matthew 14:22-36 Mark Twain tells this story: A man visited the Holy Land and stayed in Capernaum. It was a moonlit night, so he decided to take his wife on a romantic boat ride on the Sea of Galilee. Twain asked a man in a rowboat how much he’d charge to take them out on the water. The man saw Twain’s white suit, white shoes, and white hat and supposed he was a rich Texan. So, he said the cost would be twenty-five dollars. Twain walked away as he said, “Now I know why Jesus walked.”
