Matthieu 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.

Matthieu 8:23 In-Context

21 Et un autre de ses disciples lui dit: Seigneur! permets que j'aille auparavant ensevelir mon père.

22 Mais Jésus lui dit: Suis-moi, et laisse les morts ensevelir leurs morts.

23 Ensuite il entra dans la barque, et ses disciples le suivirent.

24 Et il s'éleva tout à coup une grande tourmente sur la mer, en sorte que la barque était couverte par les flots; mais il dormait.

25 Et ses disciples, s'approchant, le réveillèrent, et lui dirent: Seigneur, sauve-nous, nous périssons.
