Context — The Calming of the Stormgenerated

36After they had dismissed the crowd, they took Jesus with them, since He was already in the boat. And there were other boats with Him.
37Soon a violent windstorm came up, and the waves were breaking over the boat, so that it was being swamped.
38But Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on the cushion. So they woke Him and said, “Teacher, don’t You care that we are perishing?”
39Then Jesus got up and rebuked the wind and the sea. “Silence!” He commanded. “Be still!” And the wind died down, and it was perfectly calm.

Mark 4:37 describes a moment when a fierce windstorm suddenly arose while Jesus and His disciples were on a boat. The waves crashed over the boat, creating a perilous situation. This event highlights the disciples' fear and the authority of Jesus over nature, as He later calms the storm in the following verses.

The Key Word λαῖλαψ, lailapsgenerated

The noun λαῖλαψ (lailaps) refers specifically to a violent storm or tempest. It is used in the New Testament to describe severe weather conditions that pose danger, as seen in Luke 8:23.

This word emphasizes the intensity of the storm that threatened the safety of the disciples. Its usage conveys a sense of urgency and peril, making it clear that the situation was dire.


How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

The verse is rendered in the Berean Standard Bible as 'Soon a violent windstorm came up, and the waves were breaking over the boat, so that it was being swamped.' This is consistent across several translations, including the KJV and ASV, which emphasize the storm's severity.

However, some versions like the YLT and BBE use different phrasing, such as 'great storm of wind' and 'the boat was now becoming full,' which highlight the ongoing nature of the storm and its impact on the boat.


Sentence Structuregenerated

The main finite verb of the verse is γίνεται, comes, which governs the entire sentence. It is accompanied by a series of phrases that describe the storm and its effects: a noun phrase for the storm, a participial phrase for the waves, and a clause indicating the result of the storm's impact.

The structure reveals a clear cause-and-effect relationship, where the storm's emergence leads to the waves breaking over the boat, culminating in the boat being swamped.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

λαῖλαψ does not have a direct equivalent in the Septuagint but is conceptually linked to similar terms for storms and tempests found in the Old Testament. It captures the essence of severe weather as seen in various Hebrew words for storm.

The term ἄνεμος (wind) appears in the Septuagint, translating the Hebrew word רוּחַ (H7307), which also conveys the idea of wind as a powerful force.


In plain words — the whole versegenerated

Mark 4:37 describes a moment when a violent storm suddenly arose while Jesus and His disciples were on a boat. The waves crashed over the boat, creating a perilous situation. This event highlights the disciples' fear and the authority of Jesus over nature, as He later calms the storm.

The earliest translations — Latin and Syriac

Every translation is an argument about meaning made by someone who had to commit to one. These two were made while the Greek was still a living language, and they are the oldest opinions we have about what this verse says.

Latin VulgateAD 382–405

Et facta est procella magna venti, et fluctus mittebat in navim, ita ut impleretur navis.

Jerome revised the Old Latin against the Greek from AD 382; the Latin west read this text for a thousand years.

Syriac Peshittaby AD 400

ܘܗܘܬ ܥܠܥܠܐ ܪܒܬܐ ܘܪܘܚܐ ܘܓܠܠܐ ܢܦܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܣܦܝܢܬܐ ܘܩܪܝܒܐ ܗܘܬ ܕܬܬܡܠܐ

The Bible of the Syriac-speaking church, in the language nearest to the Aramaic Jesus spoke.

Shown verse by verse rather than word by word: aligning a Greek word to its Latin or Syriac counterpart automatically would be guesswork, and a wrong alignment is worse than none.

Company kept: which words stand within three words of each of these, anywhere in the Greek New Testament — the thicker the line, the more often the pair meet compared with chance.

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.

γίνομαι (ginomai) is a versatile Greek verb meaning to come into being, be born, or arise. It covers a wide range of uses, from the creation of things to events occurring. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts such as birth (e.g., Romans 1:3), occurrences in nature (e.g., John 12:29), and actions being performed (e.g., Matthew 21:42). It can also express the idea of becoming or changing states.

The Greek word λαῖλαψ (lailaps) refers to a violent storm or hurricane. It is derived from an intensive form indicating a tempest and is used in the New Testament in Mark 4:37, Luke 8:23, and 2 Peter 2:17. The term is synonymous with θύελλα (thunderstorm) and is noted for its poetic usage.

The Greek word ἄνεμος (anemos) means 'wind' and is used in various contexts, including literal and metaphorical senses. It can refer to the four cardinal winds or directions, as well as symbolize instability in teaching (Eph 4:14). The term appears frequently in the New Testament, notably in passages describing storms and winds, such as Matthew 14:24 and Mark 4:39. Lexicons note its use in both classical and biblical literature.

Trench, Synonyms of the New Testament — πνοή, πνεῦμα, ἄνεμος, θύελλα from a scan

From the words into comparison with which πνεῦμα is here brought, it will be evident that it is proposed to deal with it in its natural and earthly, not in its supernatural and heavenly, meaning. Only I will observe, that on the relations between πνοή and πνεῦμα in this its higher sense there is a discussion in Augustine, De Civ. Dei, xiii. 22; cf. De Anim. et huj. Orig. i. 14, 19. The first three words of this group, as they designate not things heavenly but things earthly, differ from one another exactly as, according to Seneca, do in the Latin ‘aér,’ ‘spiritus,’ ‘ ventus’ (Nat. Qu. v. 13) : ‘Spiritum a vento motus' separat; vehementior enim spiritus ventus est; invicem spiritus leviter fluens aer.’ Πνοή and πνεῦμα occur not seldom together, as at Isai. xlii. 5; lvii. 16; πνοή conveying the impression of a lighter, gentler, motion of the air than πνεῦμα, as ‘aura’ than ‘ventus.’…

wind (anemos:

1. Causes:

Unequal distribution of heat in the atmosphere causes currents of air or wind. The heated air rises and the air from around rushes in. The direction from which a current comes determines its name, as west wind coming from the West but blowing toward the East. When two currents of air of different directions meet, a spiral motion sometimes results.

See WHIRLWIND.

2. West Wind:

In Palestine the west wind is the most common. It comes from the sea and carries the moisture which condenses to form clouds, as it is turned upward by the mountains, to the cooler layers of the atmosphere. If the temperature reached is cool enough the cloud condenses and rain falls. Elijah looked toward the West for the "small cloud," and soon "the heavens grew black with clouds and wind" (1Ki 18:44 f). "When ye see a cloud rising in the…

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.

1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.

This he calls the preaching of the cross.

2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.

3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.

δέ (de) is a post-positive particle in Greek, primarily used as a conjunction to connect clauses. It can express contrast (but, on the other hand) or continuation (and, also), and is often used to transition between ideas or to add emphasis. In the New Testament, it appears frequently in various contexts, such as contrasting statements or resuming interrupted discourse, with notable examples in Matthew and 2 Corinthians.

The Greek word κῦμα (kyma) means 'wave' or 'billow,' derived from the verb κύω meaning 'to swell.' It refers primarily to waves of the sea, but can also metaphorically describe floods of people or adversity. The New Testament uses it in contexts involving literal waves (e.g., Matthew 8:24) and figurative expressions of turmoil (Jude 13). There is some overlap with the synonym κλύδων.

The Greek word ἐπιβάλλω (i.e., *epiballo*) means to throw or cast upon, and it can be used transitively or reflexively. It covers a range of meanings, including to lay on, impose, or apply oneself to something. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts such as seizing a prisoner (Matthew 26:50) and reflecting on a matter (Mark 14:72). The lexicons do not show significant disagreement.

εἰς is a preposition meaning 'into' or 'to,' used with the accusative case. It indicates direction, entrance, or limit, applicable to place, time, and figurative purposes. The New Testament frequently employs it to express movement toward locations or states, as seen in passages like Matthew 8:23. It can also denote relationships or results, such as 'for' or 'among.'

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.

1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.

This he calls the preaching of the cross.

2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.

3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.

Th' adorning thee with so much art,

Is but a barb'rous skill.

The Greek word πλοῖον (ploion) refers to a vessel or ship, derived from the verb meaning 'to sail.' It encompasses various types of boats, including merchant ships and small craft, and is frequently used in the New Testament, notably in Matthew 4:21-22 and Acts 21:2-3. The term has historical usage in classical literature as well.

Smith's Bible Dictionary

"So, king of Egypt," is once mentioned in the Bible -- (2 Kings 17:4) So has been identified by different writers with the first and second kings of the Ethiopian twenty-fifth dynasty, called by Manetho, Sabakon (Shebek) and Sebichos (Shebetek).

American Tract Society Bible Dictionary

King of Egypt, made an alliance with Hoshea king of Israel, and promised him assistance; but was unable to prevent Shalmaneser king of Assyria from taking Samaria and subverting the kingdom, B. C. 721, 2Ki 17:4. See PHARAOH.

So is believed to have been the Servetus or Sabaco II of secular history, the second king of the Ethiopian or twenty-fifth dynasty, and the predecessor of Trihakah. A singular fact has been brought to light by the recent explorations at Nineveh, corroborating the Scripture record the more forcibly, because unexpected and direct. The Bible shows that Egypt and Assyria, though remote, were often in conflict during the height of the Assyrian ruins power, and that So was at war with Shalmaneser. After war comes the treaty of peace; and as the Bible prepares us to suppose such treaties were made, the Assyrian ruins…

The Greek word ἤδη (i.e., *ēdē*) is an adverb meaning 'now' or 'already.' It is used in the New Testament to indicate a present time or state, as seen in verses like Matthew 3:10 and Romans 1:10. The word can also imply immediacy or logical proximity, with variations such as 'νῦν... ἤδη' (now already) and 'ἤδη ποτέ' (now at length).

Abbott-Smith, Manual Greek Lexicon of the NT

ἤδη. For the idea of ‘logical proximity and immediateness ”’ (cf. Baumlein Griech. Partikeln, p. 138 ff.) which underlies this word and is perhaps to be seen in 1 Cor 67 (cf.

The Greek word γεμίζω (i.e., *gemizō*) means 'to fill' and is derived from γέμω (i.e., *gemō*). It covers the action of filling something completely, often used in contexts like loading a ship or filling containers. In the New Testament, it appears in several verses, including Mark and John, where it describes filling with various substances. The lexicons do not show significant disagreement on its meaning or usage.

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.

1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.

This he calls the preaching of the cross.

2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.

3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.

Greek lexiconskeyed to Strong's numbers
Layman’s summary of all Lexicon entries.generated

The Greek word πλοῖον (ploion) refers to a vessel or ship, derived from the verb meaning 'to sail.' It encompasses various types of boats, including merchant ships and small craft, and is frequently used in the New Testament, notably in Matthew 4:21-22 and Acts 21:2-3. The term has historical usage in classical literature as well.
