Commentary on Matthew 14:33

Theological / Devotional

Came and worshipped him. See on chs. 2:11; 8:2. This is the first, though by no means the last, occasion (see Matt. 20:20; 28:9; Luke 24:52) on which the disciples worshipped Christ. The wise men had done so (see Matt. 2:11), as had also various persons for whom Jesus performed miracles of healing (see chs. 8:2; 15:25; etc.). But in this case the disciples confessed for the first time the divine sonship of Jesus, and accorded Him the worship that men give to God. Furthermore, Jesus accepted their worship. Perhaps this confession of faith was all the more meaningful in view of the doubts and fears of the disciples during the preceding evening (see on ch. 14:24).

Son of God. See on Luke 1:35.
