And he arose, and rebuked the wind - "and the raging of the water." (Luke 8:24). And said unto the sea, Peace, be still - two sublime words of command, from a Master to His servants, the elements х Sioopa (G4623), pefimooso (G5392)].

And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. The sudden hushing of the wind would not at once have calmed the sea, whose commotion would have settled only after a considerable time. But the word of command was given to both elements at once.
