Jerome, 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.”

“Rightly had the Apostles departed from the Lord as unwilling, and slow to leave Him, lest they should suffer shipwreck whilst He was not with them. For it follows, Now when it was evening he was there alone; that is, in the mountain; but the boat was in the middle of the sea tossed with the waves; for the wind was contrary.”
