Where is your faith? - Ye have a power to believe, and yet do not exercise it! Depend on God. Ye have little faith, (Matthew 8:26), because you do not use the grace which I have already given you. Many are looking for more faith without using that which they have. It is as possible to hide this talent as any other.
And he said unto them, where is your faith?.... That is, he said so to his disciples, who had professed faith in him, but now discovered very little:
and they being afraid, wondered; being filled with awful sense of his majesty, were amazed at his power and authority, in rebuking the wind and sea, which at once obeyed him, and were still:
saying one another; among themselves, privately:
what manner of man is this? for he commandeth even the winds and water; or the sea, as the Vulgate Latin. The Syriac version reads both, "the floods and the sea";
and they obey him: according to Matthew, these words seem to be spoken by the men of the ship, the mariners; but here, according to Luke, they seem to be the words of the disciples; See Gill on Matthew 8:27, Mark 4:41.
