Men aren't flat but they are more dense than freshwater. Jesus wasn't really a man or somebody wasn't telling the truth. maybe godmen float, i'm no expert on this though.
edit: according to the bible, faith in Jesus has been observed to reduce your density.
The simple would be, he is God, and therefore is not bound by laws of physics.
We also forget that Peter also walked on water.
A more scientific answer would be this.
An atom is 99% empty space, this means that there is no such thing as a solid. what stops you from being able to pass through object are the electric Fields produced by the atoms which repel each other. So in other words, you don't sit on a chair, you levitate over a chair.
I believe there is also an instance where Jesus walked through a wall, that being said, If you were somehow able to control the electric fields of your body at the atomic level then I imagine you'd be able to do similar things.
I'm in no way saying that this is What Jesus did, just saying we live in a world that is not as real as we perceive it to be.
