Marcos 4:38 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 4:38

And he was in the hinder part of the ship
That is, Christ was in the stern of the ship: the Persic version renders it, "he was in the bottom of the ship, in a corner", but very wrongly; here he was

asleep on a pillow,
which some say was a wooden one, framed at the stern: however, he was fast asleep on it, being greatly fatigued with the work of the day; (See Gill on Matthew 8:24).

And they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that
we perish?
The disciples came to him and jogged him, and awoke him out of sleep; saying, Master, arise, and save us, or we are lost: hast thou no concern for us? how canst thou lie sleeping here, when we are in such danger? are our lives of no account with thee? is it a matter of no moment with thee, whether we are saved or lost? They seem to say this, not so much praying and interrogating, as complaining and reproving.

Marcos 4:38 In-Context

36 E eles, deixando a multidão, o levaram consigo, assim como estava, no barco; e havia com ele também outros barcos.

37 E se levantou grande tempestade de vento, e as ondas batiam dentro do barco, de modo que já se enchia.

38 Ele, porém, estava na popa dormindo sobre a almofada; e despertaram-no, e lhe perguntaram: Mestre, não se te dá que pereçamos?

39 E ele, levantando-se, repreendeu o vento, e disse ao mar: Cala-te, aquieta-te. E cessou o vento, e fez-se grande bonança.

40 Então lhes perguntou: Por que sois assim tímidos? Ainda não tendes fé?
