This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
The effect of the miracle:
v. 32. And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.
v. 33. Then they that were in the ship came and worshiped Him, saying, Of a truth Thou art the Son of God.
Christ is the supreme, the absolute Lord of the elements. In this case the wind ceased as soon as they had stepped into the boat, not by gradually abating, but by a sudden calm. No wonder that all that were in the boat, not only the disciples, but all the passengers, worshiped Him, freely giving Him the glory and honor as the Son of God. Thus was their faith gradually becoming stronger, thus were they growing in the knowledge of their Lord. And thus will all those grow that are in daily, intimate contact and conversation with Him in His Word, Psa_107:29-30.
