Luke 8:24

24 They went and woke him, saying, "Rabbi! Rabbi! We're about to die!" He woke up, rebuked the wind and the rough water; and they calmed down, so that it was still.

Luke 8:24 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 8:24

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"; (See Gill on Matthew 8:25).

Then he rose, and rebuked the wind, and the raging of the water, and
they ceased, and there was a calm;
(See Gill on Matthew 8:26).

Luke 8:24 In-Context

22 One day Yeshua got into a boat with his talmidim and said to them, "Let's cross to the other side of the lake."

23 So they set out; and as they were sailing, he fell asleep. A windstorm came down on the lake, so that the boat began to fill up with water, putting them in great danger.

24 They went and woke him, saying, "Rabbi! Rabbi! We're about to die!" He woke up, rebuked the wind and the rough water; and they calmed down, so that it was still.

25 Then he said to the talmidim, "Where is your trust?" Awestruck, they marveled, asking one another, "Who can this be, that he commands even the wind and the water, and they obey him?"

26 They sailed on and landed in the region of the Gerasenes, which is opposite the Galil.
