And behold, there arose a great tempest,.... "A great concussion", or "shaking" of the sea; the stormy wind moved the sea, and the waves thereof; and both wind and sea shook the ship, and the men that were in it.

The evangelist having, in the foregoing chapters, given us a specimen of our Lord's preaching, proceeds now to give some instances of the miracles he wrought, which prove him a Teacher come from God, and the great Healer of a diseased world.

And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep. What! a tempest where Christ is? Yes, it is generally so.
