Luk 8:24 — And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.

Phrase of Scripture		Correlating Passages

Master		Psa 69:1,2; Psa 116:3,4; Psa 142:4,5; Lam 3:54-56; Jhn 2:2-6; Mat 14:30; 2Cr 1:9,10
he arose		Psa 65:7; Psa 104:6-9; Psa 107:25-29; Isa 50:2; Jer 5:22; Nah 1:4
and rebuked		As the agitation of the sea was merely the effect of the wind, it was necessary to remove the cause of the commotion before the effect would cease. But who, by simply saying Peace, be still, (Mar 4:39,) could do this but God? One word of our LORD can change the face of nature, and calm the troubled ocean, as well as restore peace to the disconsolate soul.
