Marcos 4:39 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 4:39

And he arose and rebuked the wind
He arose from off his pillow, and stood up; and in a majestic and authoritative way reproved the wind, as if it was a servant that had exceeded his commission; at which he shows some resentment:

and said unto the sea, peace, be still;
as if that which was very tumultuous and boisterous, and threatened with shipwreck and the loss of lives, had raged too much and too long:

and the wind ceased, and there was a great calm;
which was very unusual and extraordinary; for after the wind has ceased, and the storm is over, the waters of the sea being agitated thereby, keep raging, and in a violent motion, for a considerable time; whereas here, as soon as ever the word was spoken, immediately, at once, the wind ceased, and the sea was calmed: a clear proof this, that he must be the most high God, who gathers the winds in his fists, and stills the noise of the seas and their waves.

Marcos 4:39 In-Context

37 Pero se levantó<***> una violenta tempestad, y las olas se lanzaban sobre la barca de tal manera que ya se anegaba la barca.

38 El estaba en la popa, durmiendo sobre un cabezal; entonces le despertaron<***> y le dijeron<***>: Maestro, ¿no te importa que perezcamos?

39 Y levantándose, reprendió al viento, y dijo al mar: ¡Cálmate, sosiégate! Y el viento cesó, y sobrevino una gran calma.

40 Entonces les dijo: ¿Por qué estáis amedrentados? ¿Cómo no tenéis fe?

41 Y se llenaron de gran temor, y se decían unos a otros: ¿Quién, pues, es éste que aun el viento y el mar le obedecen?
