Mark 4:35+

The acoustic setting from the boat would have been ideal for Jesus’ voice to carry to the crowds. Some places in Palestine, such as a cove near Capernaum, have natural acoustics that would allow as many as seven thousand people to hear a person speaking in the center of the cove.[1]

Rousing a sleeping prophet to secure his prayers may have reminded the disciples or first hearers of Jonah 1:5–6, but Jesus appears quite different from Jonah here[2]

In Jewish tradition, the one who ruled the winds and sea was God himself (Ps 107:29; cf. Jon 1:15). The disciples’ surprise at Jesus’ power is thus easy to understand.[3]

Storms often rose suddenly on the lake called the Sea of Galilee; these fishermen had usually stayed closer to Capernaum and are unprepared for a squall this far from shore. [4]
