Exegesis
The main verb etaráchthēsan {ἐταράχθησαν | etaráchthēsan} ‘they were troubled’ conveys the disciples’ inner disturbance, followed by the participle légontes hóti {λέγοντες ὅτι | légontes hóti} ‘saying that’ introducing their interpretation clause phántasma estin {Φάντασμά ἐστιν | phántasma estin} ‘It is a ghost.’
In context — Matthew 14:26
But the disciples, when they saw Him walking on the sea, were shaken, saying, “It is a ghost !” and in fear they cried out.
