But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy.
Christ ordered His disciples to sea that He might display His glory upon the water and work kindness for a possessed man on the far shore. They that have Christ accompanying them may safely venture anywhere; but even at His word, in a calm, they must prepare for storm and utmost peril. The devil, prince of the power of the air, perhaps suspected Christ's purpose to cast out that legion and poured tempest upon the ship to prevent it.

Commenting on Luke 8:22-39
And they came to him, and awoke him,.... That is, the disciples came from some part of the ship, to the hinder part of it, where Christ was asleep; and by their shrieks and cries, and repeated vociferations, awaked him out of sleep: saying, Master, Master, we perish.
JESUS CROSSING THE LAKE, STILLS THE STORM. (Luk 8:22-25) filled--literally, "were getting filled," that is, those who sailed; meaning that their ship was so.
