Matthew 14:24
In the midst of the sea. About twenty-five or thirty furlongs, or
three and a half miles from the shore (John 6:19), about the middle
of the lake.
For the wind was contrary. The wind came rushing down from the
mountains, and in attempting to make land at Bethsaida, where the Lord
had directed, it was in their faces. Sudden gusts are common on the Sea
of Galilee. Thompson says he encountered one of such fury that no
rowers could row a boat across the lake. There had now arisen one of
those sudden and violent squalls to which all inland waters, surrounded
by lofty hills intersected with deep gorges, are liable.
