Matthäus 14:32

32 Und sie traten in das Schiff, und der Wind legte sich.

Matthäus 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.

Matthäus 14:32 In-Context

30 Er sah aber einen starken Wind; da erschrak er und hob an zu sinken, schrie und sprach: HERR, hilf mir!

31 Jesus reckte alsbald die Hand aus und ergriff ihn und sprach zu ihm: O du Kleingläubiger, warum zweifeltest du?

32 Und sie traten in das Schiff, und der Wind legte sich.

33 Die aber im Schiff waren, kamen und fielen vor ihm nieder und sprachen: Du bist wahrlich Gottes Sohn!

34 Und sie schifften hinüber und kamen in das Land Genezareth.
