Matteo 14:32

32 E quando furono montati nella barca, il vento s’acquetò.

Matteo 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.

Matteo 14:32 In-Context

30 Ma vedendo il vento, ebbe paura; e cominciando a sommergersi, gridò: Signore, salvami!

31 E Gesù, stesa subito la mano, lo afferrò e gli disse: O uomo di poca fede, perché hai dubitato?

32 E quando furono montati nella barca, il vento s’acquetò.

33 Allora quelli che erano nella barca si prostrarono dinanzi a lui, dicendo: Veramente tu sei Figliuol di Dio!

34 E, passati all’altra riva, vennero nel paese di Gennezaret.
