Matthew 14:32

32 And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.

Matthew 14:32 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 14:32

And when they were come into the ship
Christ and Peter. The Arabic and Persic versions, and Munster's Hebrew Gospel read, "when he ascended", or "was come into the ship"; but there is no doubt but Peter went with him into it, though the following effect is only to be ascribed to Christ's coming into the ship, and not to Peter's:

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.

Matthew 14:32 In-Context

30 But seeing that the wind was strong, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried out, saying, Lord, save me.

31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand and caught him and said unto him, O thou of little faith, why didst thou doubt?

32 And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.

33 Then those that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Truly thou art the Son of God.

34 And when they were gone over, they came into the land of Gennesaret.
