Marcos 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).

Marcos 4:40 In-Context

38 Jesús estaba dormido en la parte posterior de la barca, con la cabeza recostada en una almohada. Los discípulos lo despertaron: «¡Maestro! ¿No te importa que nos ahoguemos?», gritaron.

39 Cuando Jesús se despertó, reprendió al viento y dijo a las olas:
De repente, el viento se detuvo y hubo una gran calma.

40 Luego él les preguntó:

41 Los discípulos estaban completamente aterrados. «¿Quién es este hombre? —se preguntaban unos a otros—. ¡Hasta el viento y las olas lo obedecen!».
