Luke 8:22 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 8:22

Now it came to pass on a certain day
The same day at even, as Mark says, ( Mark 4:35 ) in which he delivered the parables of the sower, and of the seed cast into the ground, and of the grain of mustard seed:

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;
of Gennesaret, or sea of Galilee:

and they launched forth;
into the sea; they set sail, and proceeded: this clause is omitted in the Syriac and Persic versions.

Luke 8:22 In-Context

20 And it was told him [saying], Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, wishing to see thee.

21 But he answering said to them, My mother and my brethren are those who hear the word of God and do [it].

22 And it came to pass on one of the days, that *he* entered into a ship, himself and his disciples; and he said to them, Let us pass over to the other side of the lake; and they set off from shore.

23 And as they sailed, he fell asleep; and a sudden squall of wind came down on the lake, and they were filled [with water], and were in danger;

24 and coming to [him] they woke him up, saying, Master, master, we perish. But he, rising up, rebuked the wind and the raging of the water; and they ceased, and there was a calm.
