Mark 4:35

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Mark 4:35-41

This miracle which Christ wrought for the relief of his disciples, in stilling the storm, we had before (Matt. 8:23); but it is here more fully related. Observe, 1. It was the same day that he had preached out of a ship, when the even was come, Mark 4:35. When he had been labouring in the word and doctrine all day, instead of reposing himself, he exposeth himself, to teach us not to think of a constant remaining rest till we come to heaven. The end of a toil may perhaps be but the beginning of... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Mark 4:35-41

4:35-41 When on that day evening had come, he said to them, "Let us cross over to the other side." So they left the crowds and took him, just as he was, in their boat. And there were other boats with him. A great storm of wind got up and the waves dashed upon the boat, so that the boat was on the point of being swamped. And he was in the stern sleeping upon a pillow. They woke him. "Teacher," they said, "don't you care that we are perishing?" So, when he had been wakened, he spoke sternly to... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 4:35

And the same day, when the even was come ,.... After he had finished his parables among the multitude, and had explained them to his disciples: he saith unto them ; his disciples, let us pass over unto the other side : that is, of the sea of Galilee, or lake of Gennesaret, to the country of the Gadarenes, and Gergesenes; with a view for retirement and rest, after the fatigue of the day; and for the trial of the faith of his disciples, by a storm which he knew would arise, whilst they... read more

And on that day,—the day, that is, on which the parables were delivered, at least those recorded by St. Mark—when even was come, he saith unto them, Let us go over unto the other side. And leaving the multitude, they take him with them, even as he was, in the boat. It was the boat from which he had been preaching. They made no special preparation. They did not land first to obtain provisions. It would have been inconvenient to go ashore in the midst of the crowd. They made at once, as he told... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 4:35-41

The storm: the two questions. The scene here depicted by the evangelist is an emblem of the condition, of the needs, of the fears, of the Church of Christ; and of the perpetual presence, the brotherly care, the Divine dignity, of the Lord. The disciples were on the Sea of Gennesaret; and we are upon the sea of life—of this uncertain world. They took Christ with them in the boat; and we have him with us alway. A storm arose and threatened their safety; and we, as long as we are here, are... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 4:35-41

The stilling of the storm: the deliverance of the Church. The miracles so far recorded were miracles of healing, and demonstrate the dominion of Christ in the realm of the human life—he is Lord of the human body. Now he declares his equal dominion in the realm of disturbed nature, "even the wind and the sea obey him." The Church has found two uses in the miracles of our Lord. 1 . In an earlier age they were a sign to unbelievers, evidences of the authority of the Teacher, attestations... read more
