What the Fathers say
Eastern Fathers
John Chrysostom
Then after so great a storm he does not speak as insultingly over them, but as wishing that at any rate he might be believed for the future. Wherefore also he alleges what had taken place for a testimony of the truth of what was about to be said by him. One is not likely to have a good reception, when he chides in the midst of calamity; but when he tells them what more there is to come of the calamity, and then predicts the good, then he is acceptable. …
Theophylact of Ohrid
After such a prolonged storm, he addresses them not with reproach, but wishes that in the future they would believe him, and presents what happened as testimony to the truth of what he had told them. Then he predicts two things, namely: that the ship will perish, but those on it will be saved, and that they will be cast upon an island.
