He specifically walked on water during a storm, and assuming he wasn't violently moving up and down, he was moving independently of the water, so i expect he would stand still

If he didn't get affected by the moving water, does that mean he's not walking on water but on air? He's a skywalker.

Probably closer to a Cleric than a Wizard

Well, Jerry and George are Jewish so it still makes sense they'd be puzzled.

They aren't puzzled because they don't know the answer. They are staring at him wondering what's wrong with him.

It's been a while since I've been to church. I thought the storm calmed when Jesus appeared?

Nah, in two of the three Gospels that contain the story, the storm only calms after Jesus gets in the boat. One of them adds a bit where Peter walks out into the storm to meet him. In the third, the boat is just… instantly at its destination once Jesus boards, with no mention of the storm calming.

You might be confusing the separate instance of Jesus sleeping in a boat during a storm and commanding the waters to be still after the disciples wake him.
