Mark 4:35-41 And the same day, when the even was come, he said to them, Let us pass over to the other side.… What we could understand well enough was a mystery to Christ. In our glibness we could have explained their fear clearly. The lake was sixty fathoms deep; stoutest swimmer could not have saved his life in such a sea; some were married men; life is sweet; a storm is more terrible by night than day; and so on. But what is all plain to everyone was a mystery Christ could not solve. How a doubt of the love of God could enter a soul passed His comprehension. Why men should be afraid of the Divine ordinance called death, He could not understand. What fear was, He knew not. What a proof of Divine sanctity lies in the fact that all fear and doubt were mysteries to Him! (R. Glover.) Parallel Verses KJV: And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side.WEB: On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, "Let's go over to the other side." |
