Senses in use

  1. Stillness after wind and sea cease · dominant

    The nominative singular feminine form occurs as the resulting condition after the waters are addressed: in Luke 8:24 the APB renders that the wind and waves ceased and “a calm came”; in Mark 4:39 it renders that the wind ceased and there was “a great calm”; and in Matthew 8:26 it says that, after the winds and sea were rebuked, “a great calm came into being.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the clause with “a calm” in Luke 8:24 and “a great calm” in Mark 4:39 and Matthew 8:26. These phrases confirm the scene's outcome rather than isolate a precise English equivalent.
