Matthew 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.
Rabanus Maurus
Whence it is well said here, that the ship was in the middle of the sea, and He alone on the land, because the Church is sometimes oppressed with such persecution that her Lord may seem to have forsaken her for a season.
