The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 4:39

And he arose —literally, he awoke ( διεγερθεὶς )— and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still ( σιώπα πεφίμωσο ); literally, Be silent ! be muzzled ! The Greek perfect implies that before the word was uttered, the thing was done by the simple fiat of his will preceding the word. The combined descriptions of the synoptists show that the storm was very violent, such as no human power could have composed or stilled. So that these words indicate the supreme... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Mark 4:35-41

See the notes at Matthew 8:18-27.Mark 4:36Even 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... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Mark 4:35-41

Mark 4:35-41. The same day, when the even was come See note on Matthew 8:18. They took him even as he was in the ship They carried him immediately, in the same vessel from which he had been preaching to the people. And there arose a great storm See note on Matthew 8:23-27. He was asleep in the hinder part of the ship So we translate the words επι τη πρυμνη , for want of a proper English expression for that particular part of the vessel near the rudder, on which he lay. Peace Cease... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Mark 4:35-41

AROUND THE LAKE OF GALILEE57. Jesus calms the storm (Matthew 8:23-27; Mark 4:35-41; Luke 8:22-25)A well known feature of Lake Galilee was that fierce storms blew up quickly. Jesus had suggested that the group sail across the lake, but the disciples expressed disappointment with him when a storm arose and he did nothing to help. Instead he was sleeping in the back of the boat, perhaps an indication of his tiredness from constant work (Mark 4:35-38).The disciples still did not understand fully... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Mark 4:39

And he awoke, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.And he awoke ... It is not even stated here that Jesus arose, but Matthew supplied that detail (Matthew 8:26).He rebuked the wind ... In the words of Trench:To regard this as mere oratorical personification would be absurd; rather there is here a distinct tracing up of all the discords and disharmonies in the outward world to their source in a person, a referring them back... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Mark 4:39

Mark 4:39. He arose, and rebuked the wind,— Nothing can be more grand and striking than the present miracle. "Amidst all the distress and confusion of the storm, the divine Master appears (according to Mr. Hervey's description) sedately rising from a gentle slumber; he sees the perplexity and horror of his companions without the least emotion or alarm. What composure in his mien! what dignity in his attitude! what majesty, sweetened with compassion, in his aspect! such as could arise from no... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Mark 4:39

39. And he arose, and rebuked the wind—"and the raging of the water" ( :-). and said unto the sea, Peace, be still—two sublime words of command, from a Master to His servants, the elements. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm—The sudden hushing of the wind would not at once have calmed the sea, whose commotion would have settled only after a considerable time. But the word of command was given to both elements at once. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Mark 4:35-41

The stilling of a storm 4:35-41 (cf. Matthew 8:18, 23-27; Luke 8:22-25)Many unique features of Mark’s narrative indicate that it came from an eyewitness account, probably Peter. These include mention of "that day" (Mark 4:35), "as He [Jesus] was" and the other boats (Mark 4:36), the stern and the cushion (Mark 4:38), and the rebuke, terror, and bewilderment of the disciples (Mark 4:38; Mark 4:41). read more
