Luke 8:22 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 8:22

Now it came to pass on a certain day
The same day at even, as Mark says, ( Mark 4:35 ) in which he delivered the parables of the sower, and of the seed cast into the ground, and of the grain of mustard seed:

that he went into a ship with his disciples;
they following him into it, ( Matthew 8:23 )

and he said unto them, let us go over unto the other side of the
lake;
of Gennesaret, or sea of Galilee:

and they launched forth;
into the sea; they set sail, and proceeded: this clause is omitted in the Syriac and Persic versions.

Luke 8:22 In-Context

20 And it was told to him [by certain], who said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee.

21 And he answered and said to them, My mother and my brethren are these who hear the word of God, and do it.

22 Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a boat with his disciples: and he said to them, Let us go over to the other side of the lake. And they lanched forth.

23 But as they sailed, he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled [with water], and were in jeopardy.

24 And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind, and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.
