Good News Translation

Jesus Calms a Storm^(A)

²³ Jesus got into a boat, and his disciples went with him. ²⁴ Suddenly a fierce storm hit the lake, and the boat was in danger of sinking. But Jesus was asleep. ²⁵ The disciples went to him and woke him up. “Save us, Lord!” they said. “We are about to die!”

²⁶ “Why are you so frightened?” Jesus answered. “What little faith you have!” Then he got up and ordered the winds and the waves to stop, and there was a great calm.

²⁷ Everyone was amazed. “What kind of man is this?” they said. “Even the winds and the waves obey him!”
