And when they had climbed into the boat
This phrase marks the culmination of a miraculous event where Jesus walks on water and Peter briefly joins Him. The Greek word for "climbed" (ἐμβαίνω, embainō) suggests a deliberate and purposeful action. This act of climbing into the boat signifies a return to safety and normalcy after a supernatural encounter. The boat, often seen as a symbol of the Church, represents a place of refuge and community. Historically, boats were essential for travel and trade in the region, underscoring the disciples' reliance on Jesus to navigate life's storms.

the wind
The "wind" (ἄνεμος, anemos) in this context is not just a natural phenomenon but a representation of chaos and adversity. In biblical literature, wind often symbolizes trials and challenges that test faith. The disciples' struggle against the wind before Jesus' intervention highlights human vulnerability and the need for divine assistance. The calming of the wind by Jesus demonstrates His authority over nature and His ability to bring peace amidst turmoil.

died down
The phrase "died down" (κόπασεν, kopasen) indicates a sudden cessation of the storm, reflecting the immediate impact of Jesus' presence. This calming of the storm is a powerful testament to His divine power and control over creation. In a broader spiritual sense, it illustrates the peace that Jesus brings into the lives of believers, quelling fears and anxieties. Historically, the calming of storms was seen as a divine act, reinforcing Jesus' identity as the Son of God to the disciples and to readers of the Gospel.

(32) The wind ceased.--St. Mark adds that "they were above measure astonished" at the sudden lull. For the most part these mountain squalls died away gradually, and left the waves rough. Here the wind ceased in a moment, and ceased as their Lord entered the boat. And he gives a significant reason for their astonishment, "For they reflected not on the loaves, for their heart was hardened." This was the later analysis which the disciples made of their feelings on that night. Had they understood all the divine creative energy which the miracle of the loaves involved, nothing afterwards, not even the walking on the waves, or the lulling of the storm, would have seemed startling to them.

Verse 32. - And when they were come - gone up (Revised Version) - into the ship, the wind ceased. Apparently not before, so that Peter may still have walked a little further on the water in the midst of the storm, but upheld by the Lord's hand.
