Since Bornkamm’s famous article of 1948 (see TIM, pp.
52–57), it has been generally agreed that Matthew’s placing of the incident after vv.
19–22, together with some details in his wording, shows it was for him ‘a kerygmatic paradigm of the danger and glory of discipleship’.
This may indeed be granted, though whether we should therefore assume that Matthew deliberately presented the ship as an allegory of the church and the storm as its eschatological conflicts is less certain.
