Commentary on Matthew 14:31
Jesus' response to sinking Peter—'O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?'—identifies the problem: not complete faithlessness but 'little faith' and doubt. Peter's initial faith enabled walking on water, but his focus shift from Jesus to circumstances caused sinking. The rhetorical 'wherefore didst thou doubt?' prompts self-examination. Jesus immediately caught him, showing that even 'little faith' receives divine rescue. This teaches that faith's object (Jesus) matters more than faith's strength.
