Master, Master (Epistata, epistata). See on Luke 5:5 for discussion. Mark 4:38 has
Teacher (Didaskale), Matthew 8:25 has
Lord (Kurie). The repetition here shows the uneasiness of the disciples.
We perish (apollumeqa). So in Mark 4:38; Matthew 8:25. Linear present middle indicative, we are perishing.
The raging of the water (tw kludoni tou udatov). Kludwn, common Greek word, is a boisterous surge, a violent agitation. Here only in the N.T. save James 1:6. Kuma (Mark 4:37) is the regular swell or wave. A
calm (galhnh). Only in the parallels in the N.T., though common word. Here Mark 4:39; Matthew 8:26 add
great (megalh).
That (oti). This use of oti as explanatory of the demonstrative pronoun outov occurs in the parallels Mark 4:36; Matthew 8:27 and also in Luke 4:36. It is almost result.
He commandeth (epitassei). Peculiar to Luke.
