Luke 8:24

Context
8:24 They 1  came 2  and woke him, saying, “Master, Master, 3  we are about to die!” So 4  he got up and rebuked 5  the wind and the raging waves; 6  they died down, and it was calm.

1 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

2 tn The participle προσελθόντες (proselqonte") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

3 tn The double vocative shows great emotion.

4 tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “so” to indicate the connection to the preceding events.

5 tn Or “commanded” (often with the implication of a threat, L&N 33.331).

6 sn Who has authority over the seas and winds is discussed in the OT: Ps 104:3; 135:7; 107:23-30. When Jesus rebuked the wind and the raging waves he was making a statement about who he was.
