Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 14:22-33

Matthew 14:22-Micah : . Jesus Walks on the Sea ( Mark 6:45-1 Thessalonians : *).— Mt. omits “ to Bethsaida,” seeing that the boat arrived at Gennesaret ( Matthew 14:34), and the remark that Jesus “ would have passed by them.” But he amplifies the story by the attempt of Peter to walk on the water. This incident, which has a close parallel in Buddhist legend, emphasizes the power of faith. It may reflect the later proud impulsiveness, fall, repentance, and restoration of the apostle. Loisy... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Matthew 14:24-27

While our Saviour was praying on the mount the ship which carried his disciples was upon the sea, that is, that creek of the sea which they were at that time passing over. A storm ariseth, not without the counsel of God, that Christ might show that both the winds and the waves were under his command. And in the fourth watch of the night, that is, about three hours before the rising of the sun; for though the Jews anciently divided the night into three parts, each consisting of four hours, yet... read more

CRITICAL NOTESMatthew 14:22. Constrained His disciples.—Perhaps they, too, were carried away by the frenzy of the time, and would have joined the people in proclaiming Him King (John 6:15); or perhaps they were unwilling to leave Him behind among the people at a moment of such excitement (Laidlaw).Matthew 14:23. The evening.—The later evening (see note on Matthew 14:15).Matthew 14:24. Tossed.—Distressed (R.V.). The expression in the original is forcible, “tortured by the waves,” writhing in... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Matthew 14:1-36

And at that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus. And he said to his servants, This is John the Baptist; he's risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do show forth themselves in him. For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife. For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her. And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet. But when... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 14:1-36

Matthew 14:2 . This is John the baptist: he is risen from the dead. Mark indicates that Herod was a sadducee by those words of Christ, Beware of the leaven of the sadducees beware of the leaven of Herod. But how is this reconciled with Luke 9:9, where Herod desired to see Christ? Perhaps, like our Harry, he often changed his faith. Perhaps he doubted sometimes whether the Pythagorean doctrine of metempsychosis, or the transmigration of souls into new bodies, might not be true. The cabalists... read more

These two facts are involved in the two aspects of humanity.I.
