Peter Chrysologus, on Matt 9:1

“And entering into a boat, he passed over the water and came into his own city.”

“(Serm. 50.) The Creator of all things, the Lord of the world, when He had for our sakes straitened Himself in the bonds of our flesh, began to have His own country as a man, began to be a citizen of Judæa, and to have parents, though Himself the parent of all, that affection might attach those whom fear had separated.”
