ISB ~ Luke 8 v25

Who then is this:The disciples marvel at Jesus’ divine power over nature (Job 26:12; Ps 89:9; 107:2829). See note on Mt 8:23-27.

• Allegorically (St.Ā Bede, In Lucam 31): Jesus’ sleep signifies his death, an absence that strikes fear in the heart of his disciples. Beaten by waves of doubt, they are finally comforted when Christ awakes from the grave to put down the devil and strip him of the power of death.
