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 Levantou-se um forte vendaval, e as ondas se lançavam sobre o barco, de forma que este ia se enchendo de água.

38 Jesus estava na popa, dormindo com a cabeça sobre um travesseiro. Os discípulos o acordaram e clamaram: “Mestre, não te importas que morramos?”

39 Ele se levantou, repreendeu o vento e disse ao mar: “Aquiete-se! Acalme-se!” O vento se aquietou, e fez-se completa bonança.

40 Então perguntou aos seus discípulos: “Por que vocês estão com tanto medo? Ainda não têm fé?”

41 Eles estavam apavorados e perguntavam uns aos outros: “Quem é este que até o vento e o mar lhe obedecem?”
