This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
But he was asleep (autos de ekatheuden). Imperfect, was sleeping. Picturesque scene. The Sea of Galilee is 680 feet below the Mediterranean Sea. These sudden squalls come down from the summit of Hermon with terrific force (seismos megas) like an earthquake. Mark (Mar 4:37) and Luke (Luk 8:23) term it a whirlwind (lailaps) in furious gusts.
