Matthew 14:24 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary. Tossed with waves - Grievously agitated. This is the proper meaning of the word βασανιζομενον: but one MS. reads βαπτιζομενον, plunged under the waves, frequently covered with them; the waves often breaking over the vessel.
