But the men marveled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!
All Commentaries on Matthew 8:27 Go To Matthew 8
Peter Chrysologus
AD 450
Finally it was by Christ’s mere command that he controlled the sea, struck back the winds, stopped the whirlwinds, brought back the calm. Then those who were crossing the sea perceived, believed and acknowledged that he is the very Creator of all.
