Contextual Overview

²² And on a certain day Jesus embarked and sat in a ship, he and his disciples. And he said to them; Let us pass over to the other side of the sea. ²³ And while they were rowing, Jesus fell asleep. And there was a tempest of wind on the sea; and the ship was near to sinking. ²⁴ And they came and awaked him, and said to him: Our Rabbi, our Rabbi, we are perishing! And he arose, and rebuked the winds and the agitations of the water; and they ceased, and there was a calm. ²⁵ And he said to them: Where is your faith? And they being in awe, wondered, and said one to another: Who is this, that commandeth even the winds, and the waves, and the sea; and they obey him? ²⁶ And they rowed on, and came to the country of the Gadarenes, which lieth over against Galilee. ²⁷ And when he went out upon the land, there, met him a man of the city, in whom had been a demon for a long time; and he wore no clothing, and did not reside in a house, but among the tombs. ²⁸ And when he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and said, with a loud voice: What have we to do with thee? Jesus, thou Son of the exalted God. I entreat of thee, torment me not. ²⁹ For Jesus had commanded the unclean spirit, to come out of the man: for, of a long time he had been held captive by him; and he had been bound with chains, and held in fetters; but he had burst the bonds, and had been driven by the demon into the desert. ³⁰ And Jesus demanded of him: What is thy name? And he said to him: Legion: because many demons had entered into him. ³¹ And they besought him, not to command them to depart into the abyss.

But who, by simply saying Peace, be still - Mark 4:39, could do this but God? One word of our Lord can change the face of nature, and calm the troubled ocean, as well as restore peace to the disconsolate soul.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And they came to him, and awoke him,.... That is, the disciples came from some part of the ship, to the hinder part of it, where Christ was asleep; and by their shrieks and cries, and repeated vociferations, awaked him out of sleep:

saying, Master, Master, we perish. The Vulgate Latin, Arabic, and Ethiopic versions, only read "master", without a repetition of the word, as in Matthew and Mark; but the Syriac and Persic versions repeat it, and render the words, "our master, our master";

Then he rose, and rebuked the wind, and the raging of the water, and they ceased, and there was a calm;
