Definitions for Mark 4:38
Clarke's Mark 4:38 Bible Commentary
On a pillow - Προσκεφαλαιον probably means a little bed, or hammock, such as are common in small vessels. I have seen several in small packets, or passage boats, not a great deal larger than a bolster.
Wesley's Mark 4:38 Bible Commentary
4:38 On the pillow - So we translate it, for want of a proper English expression, for that particular part of the vessel near the rudder, on which he lay.
