Luke 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.

Ps 65:7; Ps 69:1,2; Ps 104:6-9; Ps 107:25-29; Ps 116:3,4; Ps 142:4,5; Isa 50:2; Jer 5:22; La 3:54-56; Na 1:4; Mt 14:30; Joh 2:2-6; 2Co 1:9,10

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.
