Mark 4:37

37 καὶ γίνεται λαῖλαψ μεγάλη ἀνέμου, καὶ τὰ ⸃ κύματα ἐπέβαλλεν εἰς τὸ πλοῖον, ὥστε ἤδη γεμίζεσθαι τὸ πλοῖον.

Mark 4:37 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 4:37

And there arose a great storm of wind
Called Laelaps, a wind that is suddenly whirled about upwards and downwards, and is said to be a storm, or tempest of wind with rain; it was a sort of a hurricane:

and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was full;
of water, and ready to sink. Beza says in one copy it read, (buyizesyai) , and so in one of Stephens's. It was immersed, covered all over with water, and was going down at once to the bottom; so that they were in imminent danger, in the utmost extremity; (See Gill on Matthew 8:24).

Mark 4:37 In-Context

35 Καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ὀψίας γενομένης · Διέλθωμεν εἰς τὸ πέραν.

36 καὶ ἀφέντες τὸν ὄχλον παραλαμβάνουσιν αὐτὸν ὡς ἦν ἐν τῷ πλοίῳ, καὶ ἄλλα πλοῖα ἦν μετ’ αὐτοῦ.

37 καὶ γίνεται λαῖλαψ μεγάλη ἀνέμου, καὶ τὰ ⸃ κύματα ἐπέβαλλεν εἰς τὸ πλοῖον, ὥστε ἤδη γεμίζεσθαι τὸ πλοῖον.

38 καὶ αὐτὸς ἦν ⸃ ἐν τῇ πρύμνῃ ἐπὶ τὸ προσκεφάλαιον καθεύδων · καὶ ἐγείρουσιν αὐτὸν καὶ λέγουσιν αὐτῷ · Διδάσκαλε, οὐ μέλει σοι ὅτι ἀπολλύμεθα;

39 καὶ διεγερθεὶς ἐπετίμησεν τῷ ἀνέμῳ καὶ εἶπεν τῇ θαλάσσῃ · Σιώπα, πεφίμωσο. καὶ ἐκόπασεν ὁ ἄνεμος, καὶ ἐγένετο γαλήνη μεγάλη.
