30 But G1161 when he saw G991 the wind G417 boisterous, G2478 he was afraid; G5399 and G2532 beginning G756 to sink, G2670 he cried, G2896 saying, G3004 Lord, G2962 save G4982 me. G3165
At G1722 my G3450 first G4413 answer G627 no man G3762 stood G4836 with me, G3427 but G235 all G3956 men forsook G1459 me: G3165 I pray God that it may G3049 not G3361 be laid G3049 to their charge. G846 Notwithstanding G1161 the Lord G2962 stood G3936 with me, G3427 and G2532 strengthened G1743 me; G3165 that G2443 by G1223 me G1700 the preaching G2782 might be fully known, G4135 and G2532 that all G3956 the Gentiles G1484 might hear: G191 and G2532 I was delivered G4506 out of G1537 the mouth G4750 of the lion. G3023
The sorrows H2256 of death H4194 compassed H661 me, and the pains H4712 of hell H7585 gat hold H4672 upon me: I found H4672 trouble H6869 and sorrow. H3015 Then called H7121 I upon the name H8034 of the LORD; H3068 O LORD, H3068 I beseech H577 thee, deliver H4422 my soul. H5315
Waters H4325 flowed over H6687 mine head; H7218 then I said, H559 I am cut off. H1504 I called H7121 upon thy name, H8034 O LORD, H3068 out of the low H8482 dungeon. H953 Thou hast heard H8085 my voice: H6963 hide H5956 not thine ear H241 at my breathing, H7309 at my cry. H7775 Thou drewest near H7126 in the day H3117 that I called H7121 upon thee: thou saidst, H559 Fear H3372 not.
Then G1161 took they G4815 him, G846 and led G71 him, and G2532 brought G1521 him G846 into G1519 the high priest's G749 house. G3624 And G1161 Peter G4074 followed G190 afar off. G3113 And G1161 when they G846 had kindled G681 a fire G4442 in G1722 the midst G3319 of the hall, G833 and G2532 were set down together, G4776 Peter G4074 sat down G2521 among G3319 G1722 them. G846 But G1161 a certain G5100 maid G3814 beheld G1492 him G846 as he sat G2521 by G4314 the fire, G5457 and G2532 earnestly looked G816 upon him, G846 and said, G2036 This man G3778 was G2258 also G2532 with G4862 him. G846 And G1161 he denied G720 him, G846 saying, G3004 Woman, G1135 I know G1492 him G846 not. G3756 And G2532 after G3326 a little while G1024 another G2087 saw G1492 him, G846 and said, G5346 Thou G4771 art G1488 also G2532 of G1537 them. G846 And G1161 Peter G4074 said, G2036 Man, G444 I am G1510 not. G3756 And G2532 about G5616 the space G1339 of one G3391 hour G5610 after another G243 G5100 confidently affirmed, G1340 saying, G3004 Of G1909 a truth G225 this G3778 fellow also G2532 was G2258 with G3326 him: G846 for G1063 G2532 he is G2076 a Galilaean. G1057 And G1161 Peter G4074 said, G2036 Man, G444 I know G1492 not G3756 what G3739 thou sayest. G3004 And G2532 immediately, G3916 while he G846 yet G2089 spake, G2980 the cock G220 crew. G5455 And G2532 the Lord G2962 turned, G4762 and looked upon G1689 Peter. G4074 And G2532 Peter G4074 remembered G5279 the word G3056 of the Lord, G2962 how G5613 he had said G2036 unto him, G846 Before G3754 G4250 the cock G220 crow, G5455 thou shalt deny G533 me G3165 thrice. G5151
And G1161 Simon G4613 Peter G4074 stood G2258 G2476 and G2532 warmed himself. G2328 They said G2036 therefore G3767 unto him, G846 Art G1488 not G3361 thou G4771 also G2532 one of G1537 his G846 disciples? G3101 He G1565 denied G720 it, and G2532 said, G2036 I am G1510 not. G3756 One G1520 of G1537 the servants G1401 of the high priest, G749 being G5607 his kinsman G4773 whose G3739 ear G5621 Peter G4074 cut off, G609 saith, G3004 Did G1492 not G3756 I G1473 see G1492 thee G4571 in G1722 the garden G2779 with G3326 him? G846 Peter G4074 then G3767 denied G720 again: G3825 and G2532 immediately G2112 the cock G220 crew. G5455
And when the servant H8334 of the man H376 of God H430 was risen H6965 early, H7925 and gone forth, H3318 behold, an host H2428 compassed H5437 the city H5892 both with horses H5483 and chariots. H7393 And his servant H5288 said H559 unto him, Alas, H162 my master! H113 how shall we do? H6213
Arise, H6965 O LORD; H3068 save H3467 me, O my God: H430 for thou hast smitten H5221 all mine enemies H341 upon the cheek bone; H3895 thou hast broken H7665 the teeth H8127 of the ungodly. H7563
[[To the chief Musician H5329 upon Shoshannim, H7799 A Psalm of David.]] H1732 Save H3467 me, O God; H430 for the waters H4325 are come H935 in unto my soul. H5315 I sink H2883 in deep H4688 mire, H3121 where there is no standing: H4613 I am come H935 into deep H4615 waters, H4325 where the floods H7641 overflow H7857 me.
They reel to and fro, H2287 and stagger H5128 like a drunken man, H7910 and are at their wits' H2451 end. H1104 Then they cry H6817 unto the LORD H3068 in their trouble, H6862 and he bringeth them out H3318 of their distresses. H4691 He maketh H6965 the storm H5591 a calm, H1827 so that the waves H1530 thereof are still. H2814 Then are they glad H8055 because they be quiet; H8367 so he bringeth H5148 them unto their desired H2656 haven. H4231
And said, H559 I cried H7121 by reason of mine affliction H6869 unto the LORD, H3068 and he heard H6030 me; out of the belly H990 of hell H7585 cried H7768 I, and thou heardest H8085 my voice. H6963 For thou hadst cast H7993 me into the deep, H4688 in the midst H3824 of the seas; H3220 and the floods H5104 compassed H5437 me about: all thy billows H4867 and thy waves H1530 passed over H5674 me. Then I said, H559 I am cast out H1644 of thy sight; H5869 yet I will look H5027 again H3254 toward thy holy H6944 temple. H1964 The waters H4325 compassed me about, H661 even to the soul: H5315 the depth H8415 closed me round about, H5437 the weeds H5488 were wrapped about H2280 my head. H7218 I went down H3381 to the bottoms H7095 of the mountains; H2022 the earth H776 with her bars H1280 was about me for ever: H5769 yet hast thou brought up H5927 my life H2416 from corruption, H7845 O LORD H3068 my God. H430 When my soul H5315 fainted H5848 within me I remembered H2142 the LORD: H3068 and my prayer H8605 came in H935 unto thee, into thine holy H6944 temple. H1964
And, G2532 behold, G2400 there arose G1096 a great G3173 tempest G4578 in G1722 the sea, G2281 insomuch that G5620 the ship G4143 was covered G2572 with G5259 the waves: G2949 but G1161 he G846 was asleep. G2518 And G2532 his G846 disciples G3101 came G4334 to him, and awoke G1453 him, G846 saying, G3004 Lord, G2962 save G4982 us: G2248 we perish. G622
Now G1161 Peter G4074 sat G2521 without G1854 in G1722 the palace: G833 and G2532 a G3391 damsel G3814 came G4334 unto him, G846 saying, G3004 Thou G4771 also G2532 wast G2258 with G3326 Jesus G2424 of Galilee. G1057 But G1161 he denied G720 before G1715 them all, G3956 saying, G3004 I know G1492 not G3756 what G5101 thou sayest. G3004 And G1161 when he G846 was gone out G1831 into G1519 the porch, G4440 another G243 maid saw G1492 him, G846 and G2532 said G3004 unto them that were there, G1563 This G3778 fellow was G2258 also G2532 with G3326 Jesus G2424 of Nazareth. G3480 And G2532 again G3825 he denied G720 with G3326 an oath, G3727 G3754 I do G1492 not G3756 know G1492 the man. G444 And G1161 after G3326 a while G3397 came unto him they G4334 that stood by, G2476 and said G2036 to Peter, G4074 Surely G230 thou G4771 also G2532 art G1488 one of G1537 them; G846 for G1063 G2532 thy G4675 speech G2981 bewrayeth G1212 thee. G4571 G4160 Then G5119 began he G756 to curse G2653 and G2532 to swear, G3660 saying, G3754 I know G1492 not G3756 the man. G444 And G2532 immediately G2112 the cock G220 crew. G5455 And G2532 Peter G4074 remembered G3415 the word G4487 of Jesus, G2424 which G3588 said G2046 unto him, G846 Before G3754 G4250 the cock G220 crow, G5455 thou shalt deny G533 me G3165 thrice. G5151 And G2532 he went out, G1854 and G1831 wept G2799 bitterly. G4090
Watch ye G1127 and G2532 pray, G4336 lest G3363 ye enter G1525 into G1519 temptation. G3986 The spirit G4151 truly G3303 is ready, G4289 but G1161 the flesh G4561 is weak. G772
And G2532 as Peter G4074 was G5607 beneath G2736 in G1722 the palace, G833 there cometh G2064 one G3391 of the maids G3814 of the high priest: G749 And G2532 when she saw G1492 Peter G4074 warming himself, G2328 she looked G1689 upon him, G846 and said, G3004 And G2532 thou G4771 also G2532 wast G2258 with G3326 Jesus G2424 of Nazareth. G3479 But G1161 he denied, G720 saying, G3004 I know G1492 not, G3756 neither G3761 understand I G1987 what G5101 thou G4771 sayest. G3004 And G2532 he went G1831 out G1854 into G1519 the porch; G4259 and G2532 the cock G220 crew. G5455 And G2532 a maid G3814 saw G1492 him G846 again, G3825 and began G756 to say G3004 to them that stood by, G3936 This G3754 G3778 is G2076 one of G1537 them. G846 And G1161 he denied it G720 again. G3825 And G2532 a little G3397 after, G3326 they that stood by G3936 said G3004 again G3825 to Peter, G4074 Surely G230 thou art G1488 one of G1537 them: G846 for G2532 G1063 thou art G1488 a Galilaean, G1057 and G2532 thy G4675 speech G2981 agreeth G3662 thereto. But G1161 he began G756 to curse G332 and G2532 to swear, G3660 saying, I know G3754 G1492 not G3756 this G5126 man G444 of whom G3739 ye speak. G3004 And G2532 the G1537 second time G1208 the cock G220 crew. G5455 And G2532 Peter G4074 called to mind G363 the word G4487 that G3739 Jesus G2424 said G2036 unto him, G846 G3754 Before G4250 the cock G220 crow G5455 twice, G1364 thou shalt deny G533 me G3165 thrice. G5151 And G2532 when he thought thereon, G1911 he wept. G2799
And G2532 lest G3363 I should be exalted above measure G5229 through the abundance G5236 of the revelations, G602 there was given G1325 to me G3427 a thorn G4647 in the flesh, G4561 the messenger G32 of Satan G4566 to G2443 buffet G2852 me, G3165 lest G3363 I should be exalted above measure. G5229 For G5228 this thing G5127 I besought G3870 the Lord G2962 thrice, G5151 that G2443 it might depart G868 from G575 me. G1700 And G2532 he said G2046 unto me, G3427 My G3450 grace G5485 is sufficient G714 for thee: G4671 for G1063 my G3450 strength G1411 is made perfect G5048 in G1722 weakness. G769 Most gladly G2236 therefore G3767 will I G2744 rather G3123 glory G2744 in G1722 my G3450 infirmities, G769 that G2443 the power G1411 of Christ G5547 may rest G1981 upon G1909 me. G1691 Therefore G1352 I take pleasure G2106 in G1722 infirmities, G769 in G1722 reproaches, G5196 in G1722 necessities, G318 in G1722 persecutions, G1375 in G1722 distresses G4730 for G5228 Christ's G5547 sake: G5228 for G1063 when G3752 I am weak, G770 then G5119 am G1510 I strong.

Commentary on Matthew 14 Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
CHAPTER 14
Mt 14:1-12. Herod Thinks Jesus a Resurrection of the Murdered Baptist—Account of His Imprisonment and Death. ( = Mr 6:14-29; Lu 9:7-9).
The time of this alarm of Herod Antipas appears to have been during the mission of the Twelve, and shortly after the Baptist—who had been in prison for probably more than a year—had been cruelly put to death.
Herod's Theory of the Works of Christ (Mt 14:1, 2).
1. At that time Herod the tetrarch—Herod Antipas, one of the three sons of Herod the Great, and own brother of Archelaus (Mt 2:22), who ruled as ethnarch over Galilee and Perea.
heard of the fame of Jesus—"for His name was spread abroad" (Mr 6:14).
2. And said unto his servants—his counsellors or court-ministers.
This is John the Baptist: he is risen from the dead, &c.—The murdered prophet haunted his guilty breast like a specter and seemed to him alive again and clothed with unearthly powers in the person of Jesus.
Account of the Baptist's Imprisonment and Death (Mt 14:3-12). For the exposition of this portion, see on Mr 6:17-29.
Mt 14:12-21. Hearing of the Baptist's Death, Jesus Crosses the Lake with Twelve, and Miraculously Feeds Five Thousand. ( = Mr 6:30-44; Lu 9:10-17; Joh 6:1-14).
For the exposition of this section—one of the very few where all the four Evangelists run parallel—see on Mr 6:30-44.
Mt 14:22-26. Jesus Crosses to the Western Side of the Lake Walking on the Sea—Incidents on Landing. ( = Mr 6:45; Joh 6:15-24).
For the exposition, see on Joh 6:15-24.
28. And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it is thou, bid me come to thee on the water—(Also see on Mr 6:50.)
29. And he said, Come. And when Peter had come down out of the boat. he walked on the water, to go to Jesus—(Also see on Mr 6:50.)
30. But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me—(Also see on Mr 6:50.)
31. And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said to him, O thou of little faith, why didst thou doubt?—(Also see on Mr 6:50.)
32. And when they had come into the boat, the wind ceased—(Also see on Mr 6:50.)
