Karena itu, bahkan badai dan gelombang pun menaati kata-kata Yesus (Lihat pula (Markus 1:27) dan (Lukas 17:6). Kalau begitu, siapakah orang ini, sehingga badai dan laut pun taat kepada-Nya? Ia tak lain adalah Allah yang Maha Kuasa, sehingga badai dan laut pun taat kepada-Nya: kata-kata ini tak bisa ditujukan kepada pihak lain selain Allah yang Maha Tinggi: peristiwa seperti itu tak pernah disaksikan sebelumnya, bahwa badai dan laut bisa dihardik oleh seorang makhluk belaka, dan bahkan menaati si makhluk.

We see that in the Gospel the disciples had the same problems as the situation in Psalm 107:27-29. The disciples cried to Jesus in their trouble. However, the disciples had no faith in Jesus, as sleeping, that he could deliver them. They had only some little faith in him. Jesus showed he is all-powerful: the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. So also the winds and waves, obey Jesus at his words (See also (Mark 1:27) and (Luke 17:6). Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him? He can be no other than the mighty God, that the winds and the sea obey him: which can be said of no other, than the most high God: never was such a thing heard of, that the winds and the sea should be rebuked by a mere creature, and should obey. Jesus is not only all-powerful, he is also the source of all power and authority. That man must be infidel to relevation or brainwashed, that can read this account, and deny the truth of the event, and the situation, or believe that Jesus is truly and properly God, as the disciples did.
