Having said “Take courage,” (Matthew 14:27) he requires the faith through which each of those who believe sincerely in Christ is saved. And by adding “I am,” he dissolves every fear; for “I,” he says, “am the one who can do all things.”

Greek

Εἰπὼν θαρσεῖτε τὴν πίστιν ἀπαιτεῖ, δι' ἧς ἕκαστος τῶν εἰλικρινῶς εἰς Χριστὸν πιστευόντων σῴζεται· ἐπαγαγὼν δὲ ἐγώ εἰμι λύει πάντα φόβον· ἐγὼ γάρ, φησίν, εἰμὶ ὁ πάντα δυνάμενος ποιῆσαι.
