Mark 4:37-38

Context
4:37 Now 1  a great windstorm 2  developed and the waves were breaking into the boat, so that the boat was nearly swamped. 4:38 But 3  he was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. They woke him up and said to him, “Teacher, don’t you care that we are about to die?”

1 tn Grk “And.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the transition to a new topic.

2 tn Or “a squall.”

sn The Sea of Galilee is located in a depression some 700 ft (200 m) below sea level and is surrounded by hills. Frequently a rush of wind and the right mix of temperatures can cause a storm to come suddenly on the lake. Storms on the Sea of Galilee were known for their suddenness and violence.

3 tn Grk “And.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.
