马太福音 8:26 RCUVSS

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 8:26

And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? ( Matthew 6:30 , note). The winds and waves were mastering their souls as well as their bodies. Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea. Rebuked ( ἐπετίμησε ); cf. Psalms 104:7 . The words spoken are recorded by St. Mark. And there was a great calm. Corresponding to the "great tempest" (verse 24). read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Matthew 8:26

Why are ye fearful? - You should have remembered that the Son of God, the Messiah, was on board. You should not have forgotten that he had power to save, and that with him you are safe. So Christians should never fear danger, disease, or death. With Jesus they are safe. No enemy can reach him; and as he is safe, so they shall be also, John 14:19.Rebuked the winds - Reproved them, or commanded them to be still. What a power was this! What irresistible proof that he was divine! His word awed the... read more

Matthew 8:23-27. When he was entered into the ship Being, as is said above, about to cross the lake; his disciples followed him Even as many as were desirous of learning of him, and could get a passage, either in that vessel or any others that were near. And there arose a great tempest in the sea Σεισμος μεγας , a great commotion, or, agitation of the waters, namely, in consequence of a sudden change of the weather, and storm coming on: an emblem this of the storms of persecution... read more

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

Why . . . ? Figure of speech Erotesis ( App-6 ). Here the danger was not so imminent, for He first rebuked the disciples. In the later miracle the danger was greater, and He rebuked the storm first.

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Matthew 8:26

And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.It is important to note the significance of the word "rebuked." Trench discussed this as follows: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 to him, as to their ultimate ground;... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Matthew 8:1-34

A. Demonstrations of the King’s power 8:1-9:34Matthew described Jesus’ ministry as consisting of teaching, preaching, and healing in Matthew 4:23. Chapters 5-7 record what He taught His disciples: principles of the kingdom. We have the essence of His preaching ministry in Matthew 4:17. Now in Matthew 8:1 to Matthew 9:34 we see His healing ministry. He demonstrated authority over human beings, unseen spiritual powers, and the world of nature. Matthew showed that Jesus’ ability proves that He is... read more

Jesus’ stilling of a storm 8:23-27 (cf. Mark 4:36-41; Luke 8:22-25)Even though Jesus sometimes enjoyed less shelter than the animals and birds (Matthew 8:20), He was not the subject of nature. It was subject to Him. read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Matthew 8:26-27

Jesus did not rebuke His disciples for disturbing Him but for failing to trust Him as they should have. He said they had "little faith" (Gr. oligopistos). Wherever Matthew used this word in His Gospel it always reflects a failure to see below the surface of things. [Note: Carson, "Matthew," p. 216.] Faith in Messiah and fear are mutually exclusive. Therefore the disciples should not have been "timid" (NASB) or "afraid" (NIV). Even though the disciples believed Jesus could help them, they did... read more
