Context of Matthew 14:29
27But Jesus immediately spoke to them, saying, Take courage; it is I: be not afraid. 28And Peter answering him said, Lord, if it be thou, command me to come to thee upon the waters. And he said, Come. And Peter, having descended from the ship, walked upon the waters to go to Jesus. 30But seeing the wind strong he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, Lord, save me. 31And immediately Jesus stretched out his hand and caught hold of him, and says to him, O thou of little faith, why 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
