Mateo 8:23 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 8:23

And when he was entered into a ship
Which was got ready by his disciples, or hired by them for his use, according to the directions he had given,

his disciples followed him
into the ship, and they only; for as for the men hereafter mentioned, they were the men that belonged to the ship, and had the management of it: the multitude were dismissed, and in order to be clear of them, Christ took this method; and being desirous also of trying the faith of his disciples, he ordered it so, that they should be alone with him.

Mateo 8:23 In-Context

21 Otro discípulo le pidió:—Señor, primero déjame ir a enterrar a mi padre.

22 —Sígueme —le replicó Jesús—, y deja que los muertos entierren a sus muertos.

23 Luego subió a la barca y sus discípulos lo siguieron.

24 De repente, se levantó en el lago una tormenta tan fuerte que las olas inundaban la barca. Pero Jesús estaba dormido.

25 Los discípulos fueron a despertarlo.—¡Señor —gritaron—, sálvanos, que nos vamos a ahogar!
