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 It was told him by some saying, "Your mother and your brothers stand outside, desiring to see you."

21 But he answered them, "My mother and my brothers are these who hear the word of God, and do it."

22 Now it happened on one of those days, that he entered into a boat, himself and his talmidim, and he said to them, "Let's go over to the other side of the lake." So they launched out.

23 But as they sailed, he fell asleep. A wind storm came down on the lake, and they were taking on dangerous amounts of water.

24 They came to him, and awoke him, saying, "Master, master, we are dying!" He awoke, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water, and they ceased, and it was calm.
