The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 14:22-33

Lessons of the storm. The wonderful narrative before us suggests many lessons, amongst which the following may be noted, viz.— I. THAT JESUS IS A PARTY TO THE TROUBLES OF HIS DISCIPLES . 1 . These are often induced by their own folly. 2 . Satan has a malignant hand in them. 3 . Jesus has a benevolent hand in them. (a) That those who will not submit to the ruling of Christ's wisdom will have to sail without him in the voyage of life. (b) That... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 14:22-36

The walking on the sea. I. JESUS LEFT ALONE . 1 . He sends the disciples across the lake. He "constrained his disciples to get into a ship." It is a strong word. He compelled, he forced them; evidently they were very unwilling to leave him. St. John's narrative throws a light upon this. The miracle had produced a great impression; it was in accordance with the hopes of the Jews; it was what they looked for in the expected Messiah. It must be he, the multitude thought; he is come... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 14:23

And when he had sent the multitudes away. Matthew speaks merely of the dismissal as such ( ἀπολύσας τοὺς ὄχλους ); Mark refers to his parting words ( ἀποταξάμενος αὐτοῖς , i.e. probably to the multitude). He went up into a mountain— the mountain (Revised Version); Matthew 5:1 , note— apart . κατ ἰδίαν is to be joined with the preceding, and not to the following words (cf. Matthew 5:13 ; Matthew 17:19 ). And when the evening was come ( Matthew 5:15 ,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 14:23

The soothing power of prayer. Earnest effort should be made to realize the strain, and excitement, and fatigue, and distress of that day to Christ. In some senses it was the very hardest day of his active ministry. Appraise carefully the spiritual, and even physical, influence of the following things. 1 . Anxiety concerning the excitement of his disciples because the devils had been subject to them on their first mission. 2 . Distress on hearing of the violent death of John. 3 .... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Matthew 14:22-23

And straightway Jesus constrained ... - See Mark 6:45-56; John 6:15-21. The word “straightway” means immediately; that is, as soon as the fragments were gathered up. To “constrain” usually means to compel. It here means to command. There was no need of compulsion. They were at this time on the east side of the Lake of Gennesareth. He directed them to get into a ship and cross over to the other side; that is, to Capernaum. Mark adds that he sent them to Bethsaida Mark 6:45. Bethsaida was... read more

Matthew 14:23. When he had sent the multitudes away As well as his disciples, and was now alone, he went up into a mountain apart Though Christ had so much to do with and for others, yet he chose sometimes to be alone; and those are not his followers who are averse to solitude, and out of their element when they have none to converse with, none to enjoy, but God and their own souls; to pray This was our Lord’s business while alone; not merely to meditate, but also, and especially, to... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Matthew 14:22-36

66. Jesus walks on the sea (Matthew 14:22-36; Mark 6:45-56; John 6:15-21)On seeing Jesus’ miracle with the bread and fish, many wanted to make him king immediately. This no doubt would have pleased many of Jesus’ followers, but for him it presented a possible temptation. He therefore sent his disciples to Bethsaida, while he escaped into the hills where he could be alone and pray (Matthew 14:22-23; Mark 6:45-46; John 6:15).Bethsaida was not far from the place where Jesus had fed the five... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Matthew 14:23

And after he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into the mountain apart to pray: and when even was come, he was there alone.Following so closely upon the rejection at Nazareth, this enthusiastic desire of a vast concourse of people to make Jesus king by force must have been a genuine temptation to Christ. Satan was renewing the temptation to take a short-cut to popular acclaim. This is evident from the manner in which Jesus responded, namely, by going apart into the mountain, alone, to... read more

2. The withdrawal to Bethsaida 14:13-33Having experienced strong rejection from the common people and from the nation’s political leaders, Jesus withdrew to train His disciples further. In view of the coming conflict, they needed stronger faith in Him. Jesus cultivated their faith with two miracles. read more
