Mateus 8:25 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 8:25

And his disciples came unto him
From some other part of the ship, being in great consternation, and distress,

and awoke him; saying, Lord, save us, we perish.
They awoke him by their loud cries, and repeated calls; for in Luke, the form of address is doubled, "Master, Master!" expressing their distress, importunity, and haste for deliverance saying, "save us, we perish", or "we are lost": which shows the apprehensions they had of their condition; not only that they were in danger of being lost, or were ready to be lost, but were lost: they saw no probability of escaping by any natural, rational methods: wherefore they apply to Christ, believing that he was able to save them, in this their extremity; as they had indeed a great deal of reason to conclude, from the miracles they had that day seen performed by him.

Mateus 8:25 In-Context

23 E, entrando ele no barco, seus discípulos o seguiram.

24 E eis que se levantou no mar tão grande tempestade que o barco era coberto pelas ondas; ele, porém, estava dormindo.

25 Os discípulos, pois, aproximando-se, o despertaram, dizendo: Salva-nos, Senhor, que estamos perecendo.

26 Ele lhes respondeu: Por que temeis, homens de pouca fé? Então, levantando-se repreendeu os ventos e o mar, e seguiu-se grande bonança.

27 E aqueles homens se maravilharam, dizendo: Que homem é este, que até os ventos e o mar lhe obedecem?
