Commentary on Mark 4:36
- Matthew Henry (Presbyterian), Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary on Mark 4:35-41: This miracle which Christ wrought for the relief of his disciples, in stilling the storm, we had before (Mat 8:23, etc.); but it is here more fully related. Observe, 1. It was the same day that he had preached out of a ship, when the even was come, Mar 4:35.
- John Gill (Reformed Baptist), Exposition of the Old and New Testaments on Mark 4:36: And they feared exceedingly,.... That is, the men in the ship, the mariners to whom the ship belonged, and who had the management of it: and said to one another, as persons in the greatest amazement, what manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?
- Albert Barnes (Presbyterian), Barnes' New Testament Notes on Mark 4:36: Verse 36. Even as he was in the ship. They took him without making any preparation for the voyage; without providing any food or raiment. He was sitting in a ship, or boat, instructing the people. In the same boat, probably ill-fitted to encounter a storm on the lake, they sailed. This would render their danger more imminent, and the miracle more striking.
- Adam Clarke (Methodist), Clarke's Commentary on the Bible on Mark 4:36: They took him even as he was in the ship - That is, the disciples; he was now εν τῳ πλοιῳ, in the boat, i.e. his own boat which usually waited on him, and out of which it appears he was then teaching the people. There were several others there which he might have gone in, had this one not been in the place.
