Matt 14:22 · Douay-Rheims
“And forthwith Jesus obliged his disciples to go up into the boat, and to go before him over the water, till he dismissed the people.”
On this verse:
“Moreover he is left to temptation for a short season, that his faith may be increased, and that he may understand that he is saved not by his ability to ask, but by the power of the Lord. For faith burned at his heart, but human frailty drew him into the deep.”
