In the Greek, the term used is "εὐθέως" (eutheos), which conveys a sense of promptness and without delay. This reflects Jesus' authoritative nature and His ability to orchestrate events according to divine timing. It reminds us of the importance of responding promptly to God's call in our own lives, trusting in His perfect timing.Jesus made The phrase "Jesus made" indicates a deliberate action by Christ. The Greek verb "ἀναγκάζω" (anankazo) suggests a compelling or urging. This highlights Jesus' role as a leader who guides and directs His followers, even when they may not fully understand His reasons. It serves as a reminder of the importance of obedience to Christ's commands, trusting that His ways are higher than ours.the disciples The term "disciples" refers to those who are learners or followers of Jesus. In the context of the New Testament, it specifically denotes the twelve apostles who were chosen by Christ to be His closest companions and to carry on His mission. This emphasizes the relational aspect of discipleship, where followers are called to learn from and emulate their Master.get into the boat The instruction to "get into the boat" is both literal and symbolic. The boat represents a place of transition and journey, often used in Scripture to signify a passage from one state to another. It is a reminder of the Christian journey, where believers are called to step out in faith, trusting in God's provision and protection as they navigate the waters of life.and go on ahead of Him The phrase "and go on ahead of Him" suggests a separation, albeit temporary, between Jesus and His disciples. This can be seen as a test of faith, where the disciples are called to move forward without the immediate physical presence of Christ. It serves as an encouragement for believers to trust in the unseen presence of Jesus, knowing that He is always with them, even when He seems distant.to the other side "To the other side" signifies a destination or goal. In the context of this passage, it refers to the other side of the Sea of Galilee. Spiritually, it can be seen as a metaphor for reaching new levels of faith and understanding. It challenges believers to press on towards the goals God has set for them, trusting that He will guide them safely to their intended destination.while He dismissed the crowds The act of Jesus dismissing the crowds shows His concern for both the physical and spiritual needs of the people. The Greek word "ἀπολύω" (apolyo) means to release or send away. This highlights Jesus' compassion and His understanding of the need for rest and reflection after ministry. It serves as a reminder of the importance of balancing service with solitude, ensuring that we remain spiritually refreshed and focused on God's will.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/matthew/14.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(22) Straightway Jesus constrained his disciples.--St. John narrates more fully the impression made by the miracle. It led those who witnessed it to the conclusion that "this was the Prophet that should come into the world." They sought to seize Him and make Him a king against His will (<a href="/context/john/6-14.htm" title="Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world.">John 6:14-15</a>), and He, shrinking from that form of sovereignty, withdrew from His disciples, dismissed the multitude, and on the mountain height passed the night in prayer. The disciples at His bidding were crossing to the other side to Bethsaida (<a href="/mark/6-45.htm" title="And straightway he constrained his disciples to get into the ship, and to go to the other side before to Bethsaida, while he sent away the people.">Mark 6:45</a>)--i.e., to the town of that name on the western shore of the lake near Capernaum (<a href="/john/6-17.htm" title="And entered into a ship, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them.">John 6:17</a>). It was, we may reverently say, as if in this unwonted stir of popular excitement--not against Him, but in His favour--this nearness to a path of earthly greatness instead of that which led onward to the cross, He saw something like a renewal of the temptation in the wilderness, needing special communion with His Father, that He might once again resist and overcome it. And once again, therefore, He desired to pass through the conflict alone, as afterwards in Gethsemane, with no human eye to witness the temptation or the victory.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/matthew/14.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verses 22-33. - Christ's power over the elements. He walks on the water and stays the storm. St. Peter's attempt to walk on the water is successful so long as he exercises faith on Christ. Jesus receives homage as Messiah. Parallel passages: <a href="/mark/6-45.htm">Mark 6:45-52</a>; <a href="/john/6-15.htm">John 6:15-21</a>. It is strange that the incident of St. Peter is recorded in Matthew only, and not in Mark, for it serves to emphasize what is a leading thought of the preceding narrative, even in Mark, viz. the power that believers receive by virtue of faith on Christ (vers. 16, 19). With Christ in the boat, difficulties cease (ver. 32); they that believe on him can triumph as he did (vers. 28-31; cf. the thought of <a href="/john/14-19.htm">John 14:19</a>, end). For St. John's purpose the mention of St. Peter was not necessary; since, by way of introduction to the following discourse, be desired rather to familiarize his readers with the idea of Christ's body being triumphant over earthly limitations (cf. ver. 19, note). Verse 22. - And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples. It was not their wish to leave him, especially when the multitudes seemed likely to elect him king (<a href="/john/6-15.htm">John 6:15</a>). But from the temptation to side with the multitudes our Lord desired now to shield them. Separation and physical work (ver. 24) would calm their excitement, and the object lesson that their Master already ruled over wind and sea would lead them to more perfect trust in his methods. Another reason for his sending them forward may have been that they should use the failing light; and yet another, that he himself desired time for prayer. To get into a ship; a boat (ἐμβῆναι εἰς πλοῖον); cf. <a href="/matthew/8-23.htm">Matthew 8:23</a> (the boat, Revised Version, reading εἰς τὸ πλοῖον). And to go before him (προάγειν αὐτόν: <a href="/matthew/2-9.htm">Matthew 2:9</a>; <a href="/matthew/21-9.htm">Matthew 21:9</a>). For he would follow. He fulfilled his promise much more literally than they anticipated. Unto the other side. "Unto Bethsaida" (Mark); "unto Capernaum" (John). Probably they landed at the western Bethsaida (ver. 13, note), in Gennesaret (ver. 34), and went on to Capernaum, where our Lord again addressed the people (<a href="/john/6-24.htm">John 6:24-26</a>). While he sent - till he should send (Revised Version); ἕως οῦ ἀπολύσῃ, <a href="/matthew/13-33.htm">Matthew 13:33</a> - the multitudes away. Why should this take up time? Why did he not dismiss them then and there? Possibly they were too eager to carry out their own plans on his behalf to attend to only one expression of his wish. <a href="/commentaries/matthew/14-22.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>Immediately εὐθέως (eutheōs) Adverb <a href="/greek/strongs_2112.htm">Strong's 2112: </a> Immediately, soon, at once.
