{{cquote|καὶ διεγερθεὶς ἐπετίμησεν τῷ ἀνέμῳ καὶ '''εἶπεν''' τῇ θαλάσσῃ, Σιώπα, πεφίμωσο. καὶ ἐκόπασεν ὁ ἄνεμος, καὶ ἐγένετο γαλήνη μεγάλη. <br />In the Mark verse above, traditional translations insert the word "said" as though Jesus caused the calming by verbally ordering the sea to be still. But '''"λέγω"''' -- the Greek term used for said in some versions -- does not appear in the Greek above, and where it does appear in Greek versions its real meaning is to "lay", to "cause to lie down," or to "put to sleep." It only has a connotation of speaking when used in a context of verbal communication (as in putting one word with another), which is not the case here. |||Andrew Schlafly:  [[Essay:Calming the Storm]]}}
