Matthew 14:28 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. Bid me come unto thee on the water - A weak faith is always wishing for signs and miracles. To take Christ at his word, argues not only the perfection of faith, but also the highest exercise of sound reason. He is to be credited on his own word, because he is the Truth, and therefore can neither lie nor deceive.
