The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Matthew 14:25-27

The miracle: v. 25. And in the fourth watch of the night, Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea. v. 26. And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear. v. 27. But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid. Almost the entire night Jesus had spent in prayer, almost the entire night had His disciples struggled to reach the opposite shore. It was in the fourth and last... read more

3. Jesus Walking on the Sea. Matthew 14:22-3322 And straightway Jesus [he] constrained his disciples to get [enter, ἐμβῆναι] into a ship, and to go before him unto [to] the other side, while he sent [until he should have sent] the multitudes away. 23And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart [καἰ ἰδίαν] to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone. 24But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with [vexed by the] waves: for the wind was... read more

Help in the Hour of Need Matthew 14:22-36 Jesus always comes in the storm. It had been a great relief to escape from the pressure of the crowd to His place of prayer, on heights swept by the evening breeze and lighted by the holy stars. But He tore Himself away because His friends needed Him. He is watching you also in the storm and will certainly come to your help. He uses the element we dread as the path for His approach. The waves were endangering the boat, but Jesus walked on them. In... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Matthew 14:1-36

The presence and activity of the true King filled the false ruler with alarm. Herod sacrificed John to his lust. Once Herod had heard John, and the remembrance of former conviction was still with him, but the grip of sensual intoxication was greater than the voice of conscience. Yet in the sight of heaven it was Herod who perished, not the prophet. "When Jesus heard of it" (verse Mat 14:13 ), that is, of Herod's surmise, He went to the desert. The crowds followed Him. "He healed their sick,"... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Matthew 14:22-33

The Fourth Watch of the Night Matthew 14:22-33 INTRODUCTORY WORDS As we enter this study, we are particularly struck with the words: "Jesus constrained His disciples to get into a ship." What is the deeper meaning of the word "constrained"? 1. There seemed a hesitancy on the part of the disciples to enter the ship, and to start across Galilee. We have no doubt that they, as fishermen used to the freaks of Galilee, anticipated a coming storm. The storms still sweep suddenly down upon that... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 14:1-36

Jesus Is Confirmed As The Son of God, Begins To Establish His New Congregation, Reaches Out To Gentiles, Is Acknowledged As Messiah By His Disciples, and Reveals His Inherent Glory (13:53-17:27). The advance of the Kingly Rule of Heaven leading up to the final consummation having been made clear by His parables Jesus is now confirmed as the Son of God (Matthew 14:33; Matthew 16:16; Matthew 18:26) and begins to establish a new open community (Matthew 14:13-21; Matthew 15:32-39; Matthew 16:18;... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 14:22-33

Jesus Demonstrates His Mastery Of The Sea And Is Recognised As ‘The Son of God’ (14:22-33). This is the second consecutive miracle in which Jesus take the initiative in order to demonstrate to the disciples Who He is and What He has come to do, and it results in their recognition that He is ‘the Son of God’. In context this concept goes well beyond Messiahship. He is Lord of wind and waves, a particularly awesome thing to Israelites who feared and respected the sea. Jesus has just demonstrated... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 14:25

‘And in the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea.’ The fourth watch of the night was 3:00 am to 6:00 am (The Roman night watch was divided into four). It was daybreak, after a night of toil. And it was at this stage that He came to them, walking on the Sea. His people had good cause to remember God’s power over the sea (Exodus 15:8; Exodus 15:10; Exodus 15:19), for in the Exodus they had escaped through the Sea which had swallowed up their antagonists (just as it would... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 14:26

‘And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, “It is a ghost,” and they cried out for fear.’ Quite naturally when the disciples saw this eerie figure (in the first light of day) walking on the Sea some distance away, they cried out in fear, ‘Its a ghost’. This is no doubt intended to be contrasted with their later words, ‘You are the Son of God’. What a difference it made once He was with them in the boat. read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 14:27

‘But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Be of good cheer; it is I; don’t be afraid.” ’ Jesus immediately sought to remove their fears saying, ‘Take courage, it is I, don’t be afraid’. ‘It is I’ is ego eimi. In LXX this was also the Name of God revealed to Moses (Exodus 3:14). While it was not Jesus’ intention Matthew does, in a context like this, probably intend his readers to take the hint. Compare ‘the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit’ (Matthew 28:19). read more
