From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

He maketh the storm a calm -God does this, and God only can do it. The fact, therefore, that Jesus did itMatthew 8:26, proves that he was divine. There can be no more striking proof of divine power than the ability to calm the raging waves of the ocean by a word. This is literally, “He places the tempest to silence.” So that the waves thereof are still -Are lulled. The ocean ceases to be agitated, and the surface becomes smooth. Nothing is more still than the ocean in a calm.
