Matteo 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.

Matteo 8:25 In-Context

23 ED essendo egli entrato nella navicella, i suoi discepoli lo seguitarono.

24 Ed ecco, avvenne in mare un gran movimento, talchè la navicella era coperta dalle onde; or egli dormiva.

25 E i suoi discepoli, accostatisi, lo svegliarono, dicendo: Signore, salvaci, noi periamo.

26 Ed egli disse loro: Perchè avete voi paura, o uomini di poca fede? E destatosi, sgridò i venti e il mare, e si fece gran bonaccia.

27 E la gente si maravigliò, dicendo: Qual uomo è costui, che eziandio il mare ed i venti gli ubbidiscono?
