Luca 8:23

Listen to Luca 8:23
23 E mentre navigavano, egli si addormentò; e calò sul lago un turbine di vento, talché la barca s’empiva d’acqua, ed essi pericolavano.

Luca 8:23 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 8:23

But as he sailed he fell asleep
On a pillow, in the hinder part of the ship, as in ( Mark 4:38 ) and there came down a storm of wind on the lake,
(See Gill on Matthew 8:24).

and they were filled;
with water: not the disciples, but the ship in which they were; and so the Ethiopic version renders it, "their ship was filled with water". The Syriac and Persic versions render it, "the ship was almost sunk", or immersed:

and were in jeopardy;
of their lives, in the utmost danger, just ready to go to the bottom. This clause is left out in the Syriac and Persic versions.

Luca 8:23 In-Context

21 Ma egli, rispondendo, disse loro: Mia madre e miei fratelli son quelli che ascoltano la parola di Dio e la mettono in pratica.
22 Or avvenne, in un di quei giorni, ch’egli entrò in una barca co’ suoi discepoli, e disse loro: Passiamo all’altra riva del lago. E presero il largo.
23 E mentre navigavano, egli si addormentò; e calò sul lago un turbine di vento, talché la barca s’empiva d’acqua, ed essi pericolavano.
24 E accostatisi, lo svegliarono, dicendo: Maestro, Maestro, noi periamo! Ma egli, destatosi, sgridò il vento e i flutti che s’acquetarono, e si fe’ bonaccia.
25 Poi disse loro: Dov’è la fede vostra? Ma essi, impauriti e maravigliati, diceano l’uno all’altro: Chi è mai costui che comanda anche ai venti ed all’acqua e gli ubbidiscono?
