40 Poi disse loro: Perchè siete voi così timidi? come non avete voi fede?

Marco 4:40 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 4:40

And he said unto them
His disciples,

why are ye so fearful?
since he was with them in person, whose power to keep and preserve them, they had no room to question, when they reflected on the miracles they had so lately seen performed by him:

how is it that ye have no faith?
That is, in exercise: faith they had, but it was very small, and scarcely to be called faith: they did indeed apply to him to save them, which showed some faith in him, but then they feared it was too late, and that they were past all hope, and were just perishing; (See Gill on Matthew 8:26).

Marco 4:40 In-Context

38 Or egli era a poppa, dormendo sopra un guanciale. Ed essi lo destarono, e gli dissero: Maestro, non ti curi tu che noi periamo?

39 Ed egli, destatosi, sgridò il vento, e disse al mare: Taci, e sta’ cheto. E il vento si acquetò, e si fece gran bonaccia.

40 Poi disse loro: Perchè siete voi così timidi? come non avete voi fede?

41 Ed essi temettero di gran timore, e dicevano gli uni agli altri: Chi è pur costui, cui il vento ed il mare ubbidiscono?
