Mateo 8:25

25 Los discípulos fueron a despertarlo.—¡Señor —gritaron—, sálvanos, que nos vamos a ahogar!

Mateo 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.

Mateo 8:25 In-Context

23 Luego subió a la barca y sus discípulos lo siguieron.

24 De repente, se levantó en el lago una tormenta tan fuerte que las olas inundaban la barca. Pero Jesús estaba dormido.

25 Los discípulos fueron a despertarlo.—¡Señor —gritaron—, sálvanos, que nos vamos a ahogar!

26 —Hombres de poca fe —les contestó—, ¿por qué tienen tanto miedo?Entonces se levantó y reprendió a los vientos y a las olas, y todo quedó completamente tranquilo.

27 Los discípulos no salían de su asombro, y decían: «¿Qué clase de hombre es este, que hasta los vientos y las olas le obedecen?»
