discourse, the mare to be noted that Mark does not usually trouble himself about temporal connection.—8rédA@wpev, let us cross over, spoken to the Twelve, who are in the boat with Jesus.—Ver. 36. This verse describes the manner in which Christ’s wish was carried out—it was in effect a flight along the only line of retreat, the shore being besieged by the crowd = leaving (ἀφέντες, not dis- missing) the crowd they carry Him off (avehunt, Grotius) as He was in the ship (ὡς ἦν = ὡς εἶχεν) sine apparatu (Bengel) and sine mord; but there were also other boats with Him, ἐ.ε., with His boat. This last fact, peculiar to Mark, is added to show that even seawards escape was difficult. Some of the people had got into boats to be nearer the Speaker. The δὲ after ἄλλα, though doubtful, helps to bring out the sense. This is another of Mark’s realisms.— Ver. 37. ylverat λαϊλαψ: cf. Jonah i. 4, ἐγένετο κλύδων µέγας.--ἐπέβαλλεν, were dashing (intransitive) against and into (eis) the ship.—yepileo@ar, so that already (ἤδη) the ship was getting full. —Ver. 38. τὸ προσκεφάλαιον, the pillow, a part of the ship, as indicated by the article (Bengel) ; no soft luxurious pillow, probably of wood (Theophy., Euthy.); ‘the leathern cushion of the steersman” (Maclear, Camb.

the low bench at the stern on which the steersman sometimes sits, and the captain sometimes rests his head to sleep (Van Lennep, Bible Lands, p. 62).—Ver. 39. Observe the poetic parallelism in this verse: wind and sea separately addressed, and the corresponding effects separately specified: lulled wind, calmed sea. The evangelist realises the dramatic character of the situation.— cra, πεφίµωσο, silence! hush! laconic, majestic, pro- bably the very words. —éxéwaceyv, ceased, as if tired blowing, from κόπος (vide at Mt. xiv. 32).—Ver. 40. τί δειλοί, etc., duality of expression again. Matthew gives the second phrase, Luke the gist of both.—Ver. 41. ἐφοβήθησαν >. µ.: nearly the same phrase as in Jonah i. 16.—tis ἄρα οὗτός, who then is this? One would have thought the disciples had been prepared by this time for any- thing. Matthew indeed has οἱ ἄνθρωποι, suggestive of other than disciples, as if such surprise in them were incongruous. But their emotional condition, arising out of the dangerous situation, must be taken into account. For the rest Jesus was always giving them surprises; His mind and character had so many sides. —traxove, singular, the wind and the sea thought of separately, each a wild lawless element, not given to obeying: even the wind, even the sea, obeys Him!
