Context of Mark 4:36

34but without a parable spoke he not to them; and in private he explained all things to his disciples. 35And on that day, when evening was come, he says to them, Let us go over to the other side: and having sent away the crowd, they take him with [them], as he was, in the ship. But other ships also were with him. 37And there comes a violent gust of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it already filled. 38And he was in the stern sleeping on the cushion. And they awake him up and say to him, Teacher, dost thou not care that we are perishing?
