This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Mark 4:35-5:20. Jesus crossing the Sea of Galilee, miraculously stills a tempest - He cures the demoniac of Gadara. ( = Mat 8:23-34; Luk 8:22-39).
The time of this section is very definitely marked by our Evangelist, and by him alone, in the opening words.
Jesus stills a tempest on the Sea of Galilee (Mar 4:35-41).
And the same day - on which He spoke the memorable parables of the Mar 4:1-32, and of Mat 13:1-52.
when the even was come - (See on Mar 6:35). This must have been the earlier evening - what we should call the afternoon - since after all that passed on the other side, when He returned to the west side, the people were waiting for Him in great numbers (Mar 4:21; Luk 8:40).
he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side - to the east side of the lake, to grapple with a desperate case of possession, and set the captive free, and to give the Gadarenes an opportunity of hearing the message of salvation, amid the wonder which that marvelous cure was fitted to awaken and the awe which the subsequent events could not but strike into them.
