(20) See the same words in Mark 6:50. St. Matthew's account is more full here, adding the trial of St. Peter's faith.Verse 20. - But he saith to them, It is I (literally, I am); be not afraid.

The Church has ever since regarded them as veritably sacramental. In the darkest hour of men and Churches, in the throes of persecution in the furnace of temptation, on a million death-beds, the same voice has been heard. His Divine Personality, his infinite power and perfect sympathy, the conviction of his specialized regard and veritable nearness (as we count nearness), have scattered doubt and fear.
