{Seeing the wind} (lep(936e) ton anemon). Cf.  Ex 20:18  and
 Re 1:12  "to see the voice" (	(886e) ph(936e)(886e)). "It is one thing to
see a storm from the deck of a stout ship, another to see it in
the midst of the waves" (Bruce). Peter was actually beginning to
sink (katapontizesthai) to plunge down into the sea, "although
a fisherman and a good swimmer" (Bengel). It was a dramatic
moment that wrung from Peter the cry: "Lord, save me" (Kurie,
s(9373)on me), and do it quickly the aorist means. He could walk on
the water till he saw the wind whirl the water round him.
