Luke 8:22 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 8:22

that he went into a ship with his disciples;
they following him into it, ( Matthew 8:23 )

and he said unto them, let us go over unto the other side of the
lake;

Luke 8:22 In-Context

22 One day He and His disciples got into a boat, and He told them, "Let's cross over to the other side of the lake." So they set out,

23 and as they were sailing He fell asleep. Then a fierce windstorm came down on the lake; they were being swamped and were in danger.

24 They came and woke Him up, saying, "Master, Master, we're going to die!" Then He got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waves. So they ceased, and there was a calm.
