JESUS CROSSING THE SEA OF GALILEE, MIRACULOUSLY STILLS A TEMPEST--HE CURES THE DEMONIAC OF GADARA. ( = Mat 8:23-34; Luke 8:22-39). (Mark 4:35-5:20)
And the same day--on which He spoke the memorable parables of the preceding section, and of the thirteenth chapter.
when the even was come--(See on Mar 6:35). This must have been the earlier evening--what we should call the afternoon--since after all that passed on the other side, when He returned to the west side, the people were waiting for Him in great numbers (Mar 4:21; Luk 8:40).
he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side--to the east side of the lake, to grapple with a desperate case of possession, and set the captive free, and to give the Gadarenes an opportunity of hearing the message of salvation, amid the wonder which that marvellous cure was fitted to awaken and the awe which the subsequent events could not but strike into them. |

Mar 4:36
Even as he was in the ship - They took him without making any preparation for the voyage; without providing any food or raiment. He was sitting in a ship, or boat, instructing the people. In the same boat, probably ill fitted to encounter a storm on the lake, they sailed. This would render their danger more imminent and the miracle more striking.
There were with him other little ships - Belonging probably to the people, who, seeing him sail, resolved to follow him.
Mar 4:39
Peace, be still - There is something exceedingly authoritative and majestic in this command of our Lord. Standing amid the howling tempest, on the heaving sea, and in the darkness of night, by his own power he stills the waves and bids the storm subside. None but the God of the storms and the billows could awe by a word the troubled elements, and send a universal peace and stillness among the winds and waves. He must, therefore, be divine. The following remarks by Dr. Thomson, long a resident in Syria, and familiar with the scenes which occur there, will farther illustrate this passage, and the parallel account in Mat 8:18-27, and also the passage in Mat 14:23-32. The extract which follows is taken from "The land and the Book," vol. ii. p. 32, 33: "To understand the causes of these sudden and violent tempests, we must remember that the lake lies low - 600 feet lower than the ocean; that the vast and naked plateaus of the Jaulan rise to a great height, spreading backward to the wilds of the Hauran and upward to snowy Hermon; that the water-courses have cut out profound ravines and wild gorges, converging to the head of this lake, and that these act like gigantic "funnels" to draw down the cold winds from the mountains.
On the occasion referred to we subsequently pitched our tents at the shore, and remained for three days and nights exposed to this tremendous wind. We had to double-pin all the tent-ropes, and frequently were obliged to hang with our whole weight upon them to keep the quivering tabernacle from being carried up bodily into the air. No wonder the disciples toiled and rowed hard all that night; and how natural their amazement and terror at the sight of Jesus walking on the waves! The faith of Peter in desiring and "daring" to set foot on such a sea is most striking and impressive; more so, indeed, than its failure after he made the attempt. The whole lake, as we had it, was lashed into fury; the waves repeatedly rolled up to our tent door, tumbling over the ropes with such violence as to carry away the tent-pins. And moreover, those winds are not only violent, but they come done suddenly, and often when the sky is perfectly clear. I once went in to swim near the hot baths, and, before I was aware, a wind came rushing over the cliffs with such force that it was with great difficulty I could regain the shore. Some such sudden wind it was, I suppose, that filled the ship with waves so that it was now full, while Jesus was asleep on a pillow in the hinder part of the ship; nor is it strange that the disciples aroused him with the cry of Master! Master! carest thou not that we perish." |

40 And [1161] it came to pass [1096], that, when [1722] Jesus [2424] was returned [5290], the people [3793] gladly received [588] him [846]: for [1063] they were [2258] all [3956] waiting for [4328] him [846].
21 And [2532] he said [3004] unto them [846], Is [3385] a candle [3088] brought [2064] to [2443] be put [5087] under [5259] a bushel [3426], or [2228] under [5259] a bed [2825]? and not [3756] to [2443] be set [2007] on [1909] a candlestick [3087]?
35 And [2532] when the day [5610] was [1096] now [2235] far spent [4183], his [846] disciples [3101] came [4334] unto him [846], and said [3004], [3754] This is [2076] a desert [2048] place [5117], and [2532] now [2235] the time [5610] is far passed [4183]:
23 And [2532] when he [846] was entered [1684] into [1519] a ship [4143], his [846] disciples [3101] followed [190] him [846].
24 And [2532], behold [2400], there arose [1096] a great [3173] tempest [4578] in [1722] the sea [2281], insomuch that [5620] the ship [4143] was covered [2572] with [5259] the waves [2949]: but [1161] he [846] was asleep [2518].
25 And [2532] his [846] disciples [3101] came [4334] to him, and awoke [1453] him [846], saying [3004], Lord [2962], save [4982] us [2248]: we perish [622].
26 And [2532] he saith [3004] unto them [846], Why [5101] are ye [2075] fearful [1169], O ye of little faith [3640]? Then [5119] he arose [1453], and rebuked [2008] the winds [417] and [2532] the sea [2281]; and [2532] there was [1096] a great [3173] calm [1055].
27 But [1161] the men [444] marvelled [2296], saying [3004], What manner of man [4217] is [2076] this [3778], that [3754] even [2532] the winds [417] and [2532] the sea [2281] obey [5219] him [846]!
28 And [2532] when he [846] was come [2064] to [1519] the other side [4008] into [1519] the country [5561] of the Gergesenes [1086], there met [5221] him [846] two [1417] possessed with devils [1139], coming [1831] out of [1537] the tombs [3419], exceeding [3029] fierce [5467], so that [5620] no [3361] man [5100] might [2480] pass [3928] by [1223] that [1565] way [3598].
29 And [2532], behold [2400], they cried out [2896], saying [3004], What [5101] have we [2254] to do with [2532] thee [4671], Jesus [2424], thou Son [5207] of God [2316]? art thou come [2064] hither [5602] to torment [928] us [2248] before [4253] the time [2540]?
30 And [1161] there was [2258] a good way off [3112] from [575] them [846] an herd [34] of many [4183] swine [5519] feeding [1006].
31 So [1161] the devils [1142] besought [3870] him [846], saying [3004], If [1487] thou cast [1544] us [2248] out [1544], suffer [2010] us [2254] to go away [565] into [1519] the herd [34] of swine [5519].
32 And [2532] he said [2036] unto them [846], Go [5217]. And [1161] when they were come out [1831], they went [565] into [1519] the herd [34] of swine [5519]: and [2532], behold [2400], the whole [3956] herd [34] of swine [5519] ran violently [3729] down [2596] a steep place [2911] into [1519] the sea [2281], and [2532] perished [599] in [1722] the waters [5204].
33 And [1161] they that kept [1006] them fled [5343], and [2532] went their ways [565] into [1519] the city [4172], and told [518] every thing [3956], and [2532] what was befallen to the possessed of the devils [1139].
34 And [2532], behold [2400], the whole [3956] city [4172] came out [1831] to [1519] meet [4877] Jesus [2424]: and [2532] when they saw [1492] him [846], they besought [3870] him that [3704] he would depart [3327] out of [575] their [846] coasts [3725].
23 And [2532] when he had sent [630] the multitudes [3793] away [630], he went up [305] into [1519] a mountain [3735] apart [2596] [2398] to pray [4336]: and [1161] when the evening [3798] was come [1096], he was [2258] there [1563] alone [3441].
24 But [1161] the ship [4143] was [2258] now [2235] in the midst [3319] of the sea [2281], tossed [928] with [5259] waves [2949]: for [1063] the wind [417] was [2258] contrary [1727].
25 And [1161] in the fourth [5067] watch [5438] of the night [3571] Jesus [2424] went [565] unto [4314] them [846], walking [4043] on [1909] the sea [2281].
26 And [2532] when the disciples [3101] saw [1492] him [846] walking [4043] on [1909] the sea [2281], they were troubled [5015], saying [3004] [3754], It is [2076] a spirit [5326]; and [2532] they cried out [2896] for [575] fear [5401].
27 But [1161] straightway [2112] Jesus [2424] spake [2980] unto them [846], saying [3004], Be of good cheer [2293]; it is [1510] I [1473]; be [5399] not [3361] afraid [5399].
28 And [1161] Peter [4074] answered [611] him [846] and said [2036], Lord [2962], if [1487] it be [1488] thou [4771], bid [2753] me [3165] come [2064] unto [4314] thee [4571] on [1909] the water [5204].
29 And [1161] he said [2036], Come [2064]. And [2532] when Peter [4074] was come down [2597] out of [575] the ship [4143], he walked [4043] on [1909] the water [5204], to go [2064] to [4314] Jesus [2424].
30 But [1161] when he saw [991] the wind [417] boisterous [2478], he was afraid [5399]; and [2532] beginning [756] to sink [2670], he cried [2896], saying [3004], Lord [2962], save [4982] me [3165].
31 And [1161] immediately [2112] Jesus [2424] stretched forth [1614] his hand [5495], and caught [1949] him [846], and [2532] said [3004] unto him [846], O thou of little faith [3640], wherefore [1519] [5101] didst thou doubt [1365]?
32 And [2532] when they [846] were come [1684] into [1519] the ship [4143], the wind [417] ceased [2869].
18 Now [1161] when Jesus [2424] saw [1492] great [4183] multitudes [3793] about [4012] him [846], he gave commandment [2753] to depart [565] unto [1519] the other side [4008].
19 And [2532] a certain [1520] scribe [1122] came [4334], and said [2036] unto him [846], Master [1320], I will follow [190] thee [4671] whithersoever [1437] [3699] thou goest [565].
20 And [2532] Jesus [2424] saith [3004] unto him [846], The foxes [258] have [2192] holes [5454], and [2532] the birds [4071] of the air [3772] have nests [2682]; but [1161] the Son [5207] of man [444] hath [2192] not [3756] where [4226] to lay [2827] his head [2776].
21 And [1161] another [2087] of his [846] disciples [3101] said [2036] unto him [846], Lord [2962], suffer [2010] me [3427] first [4412] to go [565] and [2532] bury [2290] my [3450] father [3962].
22 But [1161] Jesus [2424] said [2036] unto him [846], Follow [190] me [3427]; and [2532] let [863] the dead [3498] bury [2290] their [1438] dead [3498].
23 And [2532] when he [846] was entered [1684] into [1519] a ship [4143], his [846] disciples [3101] followed [190] him [846].
24 And [2532], behold [2400], there arose [1096] a great [3173] tempest [4578] in [1722] the sea [2281], insomuch that [5620] the ship [4143] was covered [2572] with [5259] the waves [2949]: but [1161] he [846] was asleep [2518].
25 And [2532] his [846] disciples [3101] came [4334] to him, and awoke [1453] him [846], saying [3004], Lord [2962], save [4982] us [2248]: we perish [622].
26 And [2532] he saith [3004] unto them [846], Why [5101] are ye [2075] fearful [1169], O ye of little faith [3640]? Then [5119] he arose [1453], and rebuked [2008] the winds [417] and [2532] the sea [2281]; and [2532] there was [1096] a great [3173] calm [1055].
27 But [1161] the men [444] marvelled [2296], saying [3004], What manner of man [4217] is [2076] this [3778], that [3754] even [2532] the winds [417] and [2532] the sea [2281] obey [5219] him [846]!
39 And [2532] he arose [1326], and rebuked [2008] the wind [417], and [2532] said [2036] unto the sea [2281], Peace [4623], be still [5392]. And [2532] the wind [417] ceased [2869], and [2532] there was [1096] a great [3173] calm [1055].
36 And [2532] when they had sent away [863] the multitude [3793], they took [3880] him [846] even as [5613] he was [2258] in [1722] the ship [4143]. And [1161] there were [2258] also [2532] with [3326] him [846] other [243] little ships [4142].
18 Now [1161] when Jesus [2424] saw [1492] great [4183] multitudes [3793] about [4012] him [846], he gave commandment [2753] to depart [565] unto [1519] the other side [4008].
19 And [2532] a certain [1520] scribe [1122] came [4334], and said [2036] unto him [846], Master [1320], I will follow [190] thee [4671] whithersoever [1437] [3699] thou goest [565].
20 And [2532] Jesus [2424] saith [3004] unto him [846], The foxes [258] have [2192] holes [5454], and [2532] the birds [4071] of the air [3772] have nests [2682]; but [1161] the Son [5207] of man [444] hath [2192] not [3756] where [4226] to lay [2827] his head [2776].
21 And [1161] another [2087] of his [846] disciples [3101] said [2036] unto him [846], Lord [2962], suffer [2010] me [3427] first [4412] to go [565] and [2532] bury [2290] my [3450] father [3962].
22 But [1161] Jesus [2424] said [2036] unto him [846], Follow [190] me [3427]; and [2532] let [863] the dead [3498] bury [2290] their [1438] dead [3498].
23 And [2532] when he [846] was entered [1684] into [1519] a ship [4143], his [846] disciples [3101] followed [190] him [846].
24 And [2532], behold [2400], there arose [1096] a great [3173] tempest [4578] in [1722] the sea [2281], insomuch that [5620] the ship [4143] was covered [2572] with [5259] the waves [2949]: but [1161] he [846] was asleep [2518].
25 And [2532] his [846] disciples [3101] came [4334] to him, and awoke [1453] him [846], saying [3004], Lord [2962], save [4982] us [2248]: we perish [622].
26 And [2532] he saith [3004] unto them [846], Why [5101] are ye [2075] fearful [1169], O ye of little faith [3640]? Then [5119] he arose [1453], and rebuked [2008] the winds [417] and [2532] the sea [2281]; and [2532] there was [1096] a great [3173] calm [1055].
27 But [1161] the men [444] marvelled [2296], saying [3004], What manner of man [4217] is [2076] this [3778], that [3754] even [2532] the winds [417] and [2532] the sea [2281] obey [5219] him [846]!
22 Now [2532] it came to pass [1096] on [1722] a certain [3391] day [2250], that [2532] he [846] went [1684] into [1519] a ship [4143] with [2532] his [846] disciples [3101]: and [2532] he said [2036] unto [4314] them [846], Let us go over [1330] unto [1519] the other side [4008] of the lake [3041]. And [2532] they launched forth [321].
23 And [2532] when he [846] was entered [1684] into [1519] a ship [4143], his [846] disciples [3101] followed [190] him [846].
