Mark 4:35-41
Christian Standard Bible
Wind and Waves Obey Jesus
35 On(A) that day, when evening had come, he told them, “Let’s cross over to the other side of the sea.” 36 So they left the crowd and took him along since he was in the boat. And other boats were with him. 37 A great windstorm(B) arose, and the waves(C) were breaking over the boat, so that the boat was already being swamped. 38 He was in the stern, sleeping(D) on the cushion. So they woke him up(E) and said to him, “Teacher! Don’t you care that we’re going to die?” (F)
39 He got up, rebuked(G) the wind, and said to the sea, “Silence!(H) Be still!” The wind ceased, and there was a great calm. 40 Then he said to them, “Why are you afraid?(I) Do you still have no faith?”
41 And they were terrified[a](J) and asked one another, “Who then is this? Even the wind and the sea obey(K) him!” (L)

Christian Standard Bible
Walking on the Water
22 Immediately(A) he[a] made the disciples get into the boat and go ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowds. 23 After dismissing the crowds, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. Well into the night, he was there alone.(B) 24 Meanwhile, the boat was already some distance[b] from land,[c] battered by the waves, because the wind was against them. 25 Jesus came toward them walking on the sea(C) very early in the morning.[d] 26 When the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost!” they said, and they cried out in fear.
27 Immediately Jesus spoke to them. “Have courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”(D)
28 “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter answered him, “command me to come to you on the water.”
29 He said, “Come.”
And climbing out of the boat, Peter started walking on the water and came toward Jesus. 30 But when he saw the strength of the wind,[e] he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, “Lord, save me!”
31 Immediately Jesus reached out his hand, caught hold of him, and said to him, “You of little faith, why did you doubt?”(E)
32 When they got into the boat, the wind ceased. 33 Then those in the boat worshiped him and said, “Truly you are the Son of God.”(F)

Psalm 107:23-32
Christian Standard Bible
23 Others went to sea in ships,
conducting trade on the vast water.(A)
24 They saw the Lord’s works,
his wondrous works in the deep.(B)
25 He spoke and raised a stormy wind
that stirred up the waves of the sea.[a](C)
26 Rising up to the sky, sinking down to the depths,
their courage[b] melting away in anguish,(D)
27 they reeled and staggered like a drunkard,
and all their skill was useless.(E)
28 Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble,
and he brought them out of their distress.(F)
29 He stilled the storm to a whisper,
and the waves of the sea were hushed.(G)
30 They rejoiced when the waves grew quiet.
Then he guided them to the harbor they longed for.(H)
31 Let them give thanks to the Lord
for his faithful love
and his wondrous works for all humanity.(I)
32 Let them exalt him in the assembly of the people
and praise him in the council of the elders.(J)
Psalm 135:5-7
Christian Standard Bible
5 For I know that the Lord is great;
our Lord is greater than all gods.(A)
6 The Lord does whatever he pleases
in heaven and on earth,
in the seas and all the depths.(B)
7 He causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth.
He makes lightning for the rain
and brings the wind from his storehouses.(C)

Restoration of Israel
43 Now this is what the Lord says—
the one who created you, Jacob,
and the one who formed you, Israel(A)—
“Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;(B)
I have called you by your name; you are mine.(C)
2 When you pass through the waters,(D)
I will be with you,(E)
and the rivers will not overwhelm you.
When you walk through the fire,(F)
you will not be scorched,
and the flame will not burn you.
3 For I am the Lord your God,(G)
the Holy One of Israel, and your Savior.(H)
I have given Egypt as a ransom for you,
Cush and Seba in your place.
Nahum 1:3-5
Christian Standard Bible
3 The Lord is slow to anger but great in power;
the Lord will never leave the guilty unpunished.(A)
His path is in the whirlwind and storm,(B)
and clouds are the dust beneath his feet.(C)
4 He rebukes the sea and dries it up,
and he makes all the rivers run dry.(D)
Bashan and Carmel wither;(E)
even the flower of Lebanon withers.
5 The mountains quake before him,
and the hills melt;
the earth trembles[a][b] at his presence—
the world and all who live in it.(F)
