What does Matthew 14:32 mean?

The disciples had seen Jesus shut down a dangerous storm at least once before (Matthew 8:23–27). That storm was so bad they all feared for their lives while Jesus napped. When He woke up, Jesus rebuked the winds and the sea and suddenly there was great calm. He said they were men of little faith. They asked each other "what kind of man is this?"

Now something similar happens. As soon as Jesus and Peter climb into the boat (Matthew 14:26–31), the wind stops dead. The disciples had rowed against that wind into the early hours of the morning trying to get to the other side of the Galilee. This was at Jesus' command (Matthew 14:22). As soon as Jesus entered their boat, the wind stopped. Peace was restored. Their response to these displays of God's power in Jesus will be different than asking who He is. Now they know.
