Matthew is a little more generous. He wants to emphasize that actually the disciples do understand who Jesus is. Mark also includes a couple of hints to passages in the Old Testament that help us to see what the disciples should have seen. So let me read Mark 648 one more time. He saw them toiling and in rowing, then it continues, for the wind was contrary to them. And about the fourth watch of the night, he come with unto them, walking upon the sea, and would have passed them by. It's that final phrase that is in Mark, not found in Matthew. I often think what are these four gospel authors discussing in the spirit world?"
Just how many Herods threatened the life of Jesus? Dr. Jason Combs explores the many Herods, their effect on Jesus and especially on the life, and death of John the Baptist and the call to sacrifice for the Savior.
