“And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.”
King James Version (KJV)
4:35 #Mt 8:23|; Lu 8:22.
4:36 They take him as he was in the vessel - They carried him immediately in the same vessel from which he had been preaching to the people.
4:38 On the pillow - So we translate it, for want of a proper English expression, for that particular part of the vessel near the rudder, on which he lay.
4:39 Peace - Cease thy tossing: Be still - Cease thy roaring; literally, Be thou gagged.
Mr 4:37 There arose a great storm of wind. See notes on Mt 8:23-27. Compare Lu 8:22-25. The Sea of Galilee lies 600 feet below the level of the Mediterranean and has a tropical climate. Only a short distance north are the high mountains of Lebanon. The heated air about the sea invites the rush of cold waves from the mountains.
