Mateo 8:25

25 Y llegándose a El, le despertaron, diciendo: ¡Señor, sálvanos, que perecemos!

Mateo 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.

Mateo 8:25 In-Context

23 Cuando entró Jesús en la barca, sus discípulos le siguieron.

24 Y de pronto se desató una gran tormenta en el mar, de modo que las olas cubrían la barca; pero Jesús estaba dormido.

25 Y llegándose a El, le despertaron, diciendo: ¡Señor, sálvanos, que perecemos!

26 Y El les dijo<***>: ¿Por qué estáis amedrentados, hombres de poca fe? Entonces se levantó, reprendió a los vientos y al mar, y sobrevino una gran calma.

27 Y los hombres se maravillaron, diciendo: ¿Quién es éste, que aun los vientos y el mar le obedecen?
