Commentaries on Mark 4:41

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 41What manner of man is this? - They were astonished at such power proceeding from a person who appeared to be only like one of themselves. It is often profitable to entertain each other with the succor and support which we receive from God in times of temptation and distress; and to adore, with respectful awe, that sovereign power and goodness by which we have been delivered. Having spoken so largely of the spiritual and practical uses to be made of these…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 35-41Verses 35-41 See the notes at Matthew 8:18-27. Mark 4:36 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.

When without are fightings, and within are fears, and the spirits are in a tumult, if he say, "Peace, be still," there is a great…Read the comment
