Marcos 4:39 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 4:39

And he arose and rebuked the wind
He arose from off his pillow, and stood up; and in a majestic and authoritative way reproved the wind, as if it was a servant that had exceeded his commission; at which he shows some resentment:

and said unto the sea, peace, be still;
as if that which was very tumultuous and boisterous, and threatened with shipwreck and the loss of lives, had raged too much and too long:

and the wind ceased, and there was a great calm;
which was very unusual and extraordinary; for after the wind has ceased, and the storm is over, the waters of the sea being agitated thereby, keep raging, and in a violent motion, for a considerable time; whereas here, as soon as ever the word was spoken, immediately, at once, the wind ceased, and the sea was calmed: a clear proof this, that he must be the most high God, who gathers the winds in his fists, and stills the noise of the seas and their waves.

Marcos 4:39 In-Context

37 Se desató entonces una fuerte tormenta, y las olas azotaban la barca, tanto que ya comenzaba a inundarse.

38 Jesús, mientras tanto, estaba en la popa, durmiendo sobre un cabezal, así que los discípulos lo despertaron.—¡Maestro! —gritaron—, ¿no te importa que nos ahoguemos?

39 Él se levantó, reprendió al viento y ordenó al mar:—¡Silencio! ¡Cálmate!El viento se calmó y todo quedó completamente tranquilo.

40 —¿Por qué tienen tanto miedo? —dijo a sus discípulos—. ¿Todavía no tienen fe?

41 Ellos estaban espantados y se decían unos a otros:—¿Quién es este, que hasta el viento y el mar le obedecen?
