Matthew 8:26 - Exposition

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).
