Matteo 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.

Matteo 8:25 In-Context

23 Ed essendo egli entrato nella barca, i suoi discepoli lo seguirono.

24 Ed ecco farsi in mare una così gran burrasca, che la barca era coperta dalle onde; ma Gesù dormiva.

25 E i suoi discepoli, accostatisi, lo svegliarono dicendo: Signore, salvaci, siam perduti.

26 Ed egli disse loro: Perché avete paura, o gente di poca fede? Allora, levatosi, sgridò i venti ed il mare, e si fece gran bonaccia.

27 E quegli uomini ne restaron maravigliati e dicevano: Che uomo è mai questo che anche i venti e il mare gli ubbidiscono?
