Context of Matthew 14:29
27But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid. 28And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee upon the waters. And he said, Come. And Peter went down from the boat, and walked upon the waters to come to Jesus. 30But when he saw the wind, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried out, saying, Lord, save me. 31And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and took hold of him, and saith unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?

Commentaries on Matthew 14:29

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 28-31Verses 28-31 And Peter answered - Here is an instance of the characteristic ardor and rashness of Peter.

He can take what way he pleases to save his…Read the comment
