Matthew 14:31
Didst thou doubt? (edistasas). Only here and Matthew 28:17 in the N.T. From distazw and that from div (twice). Pulled two ways. Peter's trust in the power of Christ gave way to his dread of the wind and waves. Jesus had to take hold of Peter (epelabeto, middle voice) and pull him up while still walking on the water.
