On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Christ makes a visit to his own country, the place not of his birth, but of his education; that was Nazareth; where his relations were. He had been in danger of his life among them ( Luke iv. 29 ), and yet he came among them again; so strangely doth he wait to be gracious, and seek the salvation of his enemies.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they supposed it had been a spirit, and cried out--"for fear" (Mt 14:26). He would appear to them at first like a dark moving speck upon the waters; then as a human figure; but in the dark tempestuous sky, and not dreaming that it could be their Lord, they take it for a spirit.
