the wind ceased:
from blowing with that fury and violence it did before, and there was a perfect calm; which gave equal proof of the divine power of Christ, as his walking upon the sea: he walked upon the sea whilst the wind was blowing hard, and the waves were tumultuous; he comes into the ship, and all is calm; both winds and sea obey him, who is Lord of both.

33 and those in the boat having come, did bow to him, saying, `Truly -- God's Son art thou.'

34 And having passed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret,
