Exegesis
The participle peripaton {περιπατῶν | peripatôn} “walking” serves as a manner participle, further defined by epi ten thalassan {ἐπὶ τὴν θάλασσαν | epì tēn thálassan} “upon the sea,” highlighting the miraculous context of movement over water. In English, the temporal phrase is fronted for emphasis on the late hour, and the participle is preserved in its manner sense to convey how He arrived.
In context — Matthew 14:25
But during the fourth watch of the night, He drew near to them, walking upon the sea .
