Note 1 at Mt. 14:22: It is interesting that the scripture uses the word "constrained" here. The word "constrained" means to compel or make necessary. That shows that there was some degree of resistance by the disciples to getting into the ship and going to the other side. The scripture doesn't clearly state why the disciples were reluctant to obey. It is possible that with their background as fishermen on this very lake, that they recognized the signs of the impending storm which they were later caught in. Regardless of their reasoning, it is to their credit that they put obedience to Jesus' word above their own judgment.
