Exegesis

The verse opens with the temporal dative phrase tetarte de phylake tes nyktos {τετάρτῃ δὲ φυλακῇ τῆς νυκτὸς | tetártē dè phylakḗ tēs nyktós} “during the fourth watch of the night,” where the dative indicates the time when.

The postpositive conjunction de {δὲ | dé} links this moment to earlier events.

In contextMatthew 14:25

But during the fourth watch of the night, He drew near to them, walking upon the sea .
