Matthieu 14:32

32 Et quand ils furent entrés dans la barque, le vent cessa.

Matthieu 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.

Matthieu 14:32 In-Context

30 Mais, voyant que le vent était fort, il eut peur; et comme il commençait à enfoncer, il s'écria, et dit: Seigneur! Sauve-moi.
31 Et aussitôt Jésus étendit la main, et le prit, lui disant: Homme de peu de foi, pourquoi as-tu douté?
32 Et quand ils furent entrés dans la barque, le vent cessa.
33 Alors ceux qui étaient dans la barque vinrent, et l'adorèrent, en disant: Tu es véritablement le Fils de Dieu.
34 Et ayant passé le lac, ils vinrent dans le pays de Génézareth.
