Context of Matthew 14:33

31Immediately, Jesus put out his hand and he took hold of Peter. He said to Peter, ‘You should trust me more than you do. Why did you not believe that I could help you?’ 32Jesus and Peter climbed up into the boat. Then the strong wind stopped. The disciples who were in the boat went down on their knees. They praised Jesus and they said to him, ‘It is true. You are really the Son of God.’ 34They sailed across the lake and reached the shore at a place called Gennesaret. 35The people who lived in that place recognized Jesus. So they went to tell everyone who lived in places near there. People brought all their sick friends to him.

Commentaries on Matthew 14:33

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 33Thou art the Son of God - It is probable that these words were spoken either by the sailors or passengers, and not by the disciples. Critics have remarked that, when this phrase is used to denominate the Messiah, both the articles are used, ̔ , and that the words without the articles mean, in the common Jewish phrase, a Divine person. It would have been a strange thing indeed, if the disciples, after all the miracles they had seen Jesus work - after their…Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 22-33Verses 22-33 Those are not Christ's followers who cannot enjoy being alone with God and their own hearts. It is good, upon special occasions, and when we find our hearts enlarged, to continue long in secret prayer, and in pouring out our hearts before the Lord.
