‏ Luke 8:24

 Master, Master ( Επιστατα, επιστατα ). See on Lu 5:5 for discussion. Mr 4:38 has

 Teacher ( Διδασκαλε ), Mt 8:25 has

 Lord ( Κυριε ). The repetition here shows the uneasiness of the disciples.

 We perish ( απολλυμεθα ). So in Mr 4:38; Mt 8:25. Linear present middle indicative, we are perishing.

 The raging of the water ( τω κλυδον του υδατος ).  Κλυδων, common Greek word, is a boisterous surge, a violent agitation. Here only in the N.T. save Jas 1:6.  Κυμα (Mr 4:37) is the regular swell or wave. A

 calm ( γαληνη ). Only in the parallels in the N.T., though common word. Here Mr 4:39; Mt 8:26 add

 great ( μεγαλη ).

 That ( οτ ). This use of  οτ as explanatory of the demonstrative pronoun  ουτος occurs in the parallels Mr 4:36; Mt 8:27 and also in Lu 4:36. It is almost result.

 He commandeth ( επιτασσε ). Peculiar to Luke.
