MAT 14:33 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

SOTN SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 14:22–36: Jesus walked on the water

In this section, Jesus showed that he has power over nature and sickness. When the disciples were in a boat during a storm, Jesus walked on the surface of the lake, and he calmed the storm. This caused the disciples to believe that Jesus was the Son of God, which was a title that the Jews used for the Christ. When they arrived at the shore, Jesus also healed many sick people.

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

Walking on Water (NET)

Jesus walks on top of water

Jesus showed his power over nature/creation

There are parallel passages for this section in Mark 6:45–56 and John 6:15–21.

14:33a

Then those who were in the boat worshiped Him, saying,

Then the men in the boat got on their knees before Jesus and said,
Then the disciples in the boat bowed in worship before him. They said,

those who were in the boat: This phrase refers to the disciples.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

The men in the boat (NJB)

the disciples in the boat

worshiped Him: The Greek word that the BSB translates as worshiped means “prostrate oneself before.” This word refers to kneeling and putting one’s face to the ground with arms outstretched. Common people did this to people of great authority in order to show them great honor and submission.

This same word occurs in 2:11c. There the magi worshiped the infant Jesus.

Here are some other ways to translate this word:

got on their knees before him

bowed down in front of Jesus (GW)

14:33b

“Truly You are the Son of God!”

“In truth, you are the Son of God.”
“You really/certainly are God’s Son.”

Truly:

Here are some other ways to translate this word:

In truth

You really/certainly are…

Without a doubt

the Son of God: The phrase the Son of God is a title for Jesus. This title indicates that Jesus has the same nature and character as God. It also indicates that the relationship between God the Father and Jesus, his Son, is similar in some way to the relationship between human fathers and sons. God the Father does not have a physical body. He did not have a sexual relationship that resulted in Mary becoming pregnant and giving birth to Jesus.

See how you translated this phrase at 4:3b. For further information, see the note on “My…Son” at 3:17b.
