What does Matthew 14:33 mean?

On a previous occasion, the disciples asked each other what kind of man Jesus was after seeing Him rebuke a wild storm into calm submission (Matthew 8:23–27). Now they know who He is, and they respond to His display of God's power in an entirely different way.

The disciples have just seen Jesus walk on top of the water of the Sea of Galilee during a raging windstorm. They know He had to have walked two or three miles to reach them. At His call, Peter was also able to walk on water (Matthew 14:27–31). Then, as soon as Christ climbed into their boat, the wind they had been battling all night instantly stopped. This time, the men responded in the only way that made sense. They worshiped Jesus. They told Him, "Truly you are the Son of God."

Worship is still the most rational response to recognizing God's power at work in our world. Worship still involves simply saying to God who He is.
