On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, “Let us go across to the other side.”
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.
Commenting on Mark 4:35-41
And he said unto them,.... His disciples, why are ye so fearful? since he was with them in person, whose power to keep and preserve them, they had no room to question, when they reflected on the miracles they had so lately seen performed by him: how is it that ye have no faith?
Observe here, 1. Our Saviour and his disciples no sooner put forth to see, but dangers attend and difficulties do accompany them; a tempest arose, and the ship was covered with waves, which Christ himself was in, with his disciples. Learn hence, That the presence of Christ himself does not exempt his disciples and followers from trouble and danger.
