Then those who were in the boat This phrase sets the scene and identifies the witnesses of the miraculous event.

The disciples, who were in the boat, had just witnessed Jesus walking on water and calming the storm, which is a powerful testament to His divine authority. Historically, boats were essential for travel and trade in the ancient world, and they often appear in the Gospels as settings for Jesus' teachings and miracles. worshiped Him saying, 'Truly You are the Son of God.'

Teaching Points Recognition of Divine AuthorityThe disciples' worship and declaration of Jesus as the Son of God highlight the importance of recognizing and submitting to His divine authority in our lives. Faith in the Midst of Storms Just as the disciples witnessed Jesus' power during a literal storm, we are called to trust in His sovereignty during the metaphorical storms in our lives. Worship as a Response to Revelation The disciples' immediate response to Jesus' miracle was worship, teaching us that true worship stems from a revelation of who Jesus is. The Importance of Witnessing The disciples' experience reminds us of the importance of witnessing and sharing our encounters with Jesus to strengthen our faith and the faith of others. Understanding Jesus' Identity This passage challenges us to deepen our understanding of Jesus' identity as the Son of God and what that means for our personal relationship with Him.(33) They that were in the ship.--The peculiar description was apparently intended to distinguish them from Peter and the other disciples, and probably indicates that they were the crew of the boat, or some chance passengers, who had no previous knowledge of our Lord and of His works. They too were led, in that moment of wonder, to the confession that the Prophet of Nazareth was more than man, and in this, as far as the Gospel record goes, they anticipated the faith even of the foremost of the disciples. It is significant that Peter's confession that He was "the Son of God," or "the Holy One of God" (John 6:69), follows shortly upon this.Verse 33. - Matthew only. Then - and (Revised Version, δέ) - they that were in the ship; boat (Revised Version). If there were others than the disciples in the boat, as is probable, these also would be included; but the disciples would naturally take the lead (cf. the notes on Matthew 8:23, 27). Came and. The Revised Version omits these two words, with the manuscripts. They are due to the analogy of Matthew 8:2; Matthew 9:18. Worshipped him (Matthew 4:9, note). In Matthew 8:27 we read of wonder; here, of homage. Saying, Of a truth (ἀληθῶς); cf. Matthew 5:18, s.v. "verily." The word seems to imply that the suggestion did not enter their minds now for the first time. Two had, perhaps, heard the words spoken at the baptism (Matthew 3:17), and most of them, if not all, the utterance by the demons in Matthew 8:29. Yet these utterances in reality far surpassed what they even nosy imagined (vide infra). Thou art the Son of God (Θεοῦ υἱὸς εϊ). Although the phrase is not of the definite form found in Matthew 26:63 and Matthew 16:16, where it is used with express reference to the Messiahship of Jesus (cf. for the intermediate form, Matthew 27:40 with 43), yet it is impossible to take it here as merely referring to a moral relation between Jesus and God. In Matthew 27:54 this might be sufficient (Luke has "righteous"); but here there is no question of coming up to a standard of moral uprightness, but rather of manifestation of power, and this is connected with Messiah. His authority over the elements leads to the homage of those who witness its exercise, and forces from them the expression that he is the promised Representative of God on earth (Psalm 2:7; cf. Matthew 2:15, note). Observe, however, that not even so is it a profession of faith in his absolute Divinity. (Kubel's note on this subject in Matthew 8:29 is very good.) Parallel Commentaries ...
