John Chrysostom, on Matt 14:22

“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.”

“Observe how He leads all gradually to that which is above them; He had before rebuked the sea, now He shews forth His power yet more by walking upon the sea, by bidding another to do the same, and by saving him in his peril; therefore they said unto Him, Truly thou art the Son of God, which they had not said above.”
