Commentary on Matthew 14:29

Theological / Devotional

He said, Come. Very likely Christ had not intended to have Peter walk on the water. But if his imperfect faith inspired such a course of action, Jesus was ready to accept it in that spirit (see on ch. 12:20).

He walked on the water. Peter stepped out of that boat in faith. It was faith that now sustained him on the waters of Galilee and gave him buoyancy. But faith was active only so long as he kept his gaze fixed on Jesus.
