=== Mark 1:23-27 vs. Mark 4:39-41 ===
In Mark 1:23-24, a man who was possessed by an impure spirit recognizes Jesus in a synagogue and addresses Him. Jesus rebukes (ἐπιτιμάω) the spirit, giving a verbal command (Mark 1:25) "Φιμώθητι καὶ ἔξελθε ἐξ αὐτοῦ" ("''Be silent and come forth out of him''".) Mark 1:26 describes how the spirit leaves the body, and in Mark 1:27, the astonished audience marvel that He even commands (ἐπιτάσσω) the spirits, and that the spirits are listening (ὑπακούω) to Him!
It should be impossible to miss the parallels to Mark 4:39-41, where Mark chooses the same words and structures to describe Jesus's interaction with the sea: Mark 4:39 - the wind is rebuked (ἐπιτιμάω) and there is a similar command "Σιώπα, πεφίμωσο." (πεφίμωσο and φιμώθητι as used in Mark 1:25 are both derived forms of the same verb, φιμόω.) In Mark 4:40, Jesus addresses his pupils (λέγω), and in Mark 4:41, the frightened pupils marvel that even the wind and the sea are listening (ὑπακούω) to Him!
Andy, you claim that Mark in 4:39 wants to convey that ''no'' verbal command was given. Why does Mark use such similar way in 1:23-27 do describe a verbal exchange?
