Matius 8:25-26

8:25 So they came ¹  and woke him up saying, “Lord, save us! We are about to die!” 8:26 But ²  he said to them, “Why are you cowardly, you people of little faith?” Then he got up and rebuked ³  the winds and the sea, ⁴  and it was dead calm.

[8:25]  ¹ tn The participle προσελθόντες (proselqonte") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[8:26]  ² tn Grk “And.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

[8:26]  ³ tn Or “commanded” (often with the implication of a threat, L&N 33.331).

[8:26]  ⁴ sn Who has authority over the seas and winds is discussed in the OT: Ps 104:3; 135:7; 107:23-30. When Jesus rebuked the winds and the sea he was making a statement about who he was.
