Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said unto them,
Let us go over to the other side of the lake.
And they launched forth.
All Commentaries on Luke 8:22 Go To Luke 8
John Chrysostom
AD 407
Luke indeed avoids the question which might be put to him with regard to the order of time, saying, that He went into a ship on acertain day. Now if the storm had arisen when our Lord was awake, the disciples either had not feared, or not believed that He could do such a thing. For this cause He sleeps, giving them an occasion for fear; for it follows, But as they sailed he fell asleep; and there camedown a storm of wind on the lake.
