Hilary of Poitiers, on Matt 14:22
Hilary of Poitiers · c. A.D. 310–367
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:
“Also by this entrance of Christ into the boat, and the calm of the wind and sea thereupon, is pointed out the eternal peace of the Church, and that rest which shall be after His return in glory. And forasmuch as He shall then appear manifestly, rightly do they all cry out now in wonder, Truly thou art the Son of God. For there shall then be a free and public confession of all men that the son of God is come no longer in lowliness of body, but that He has given peace to the Church in heavenly glory.”
