Wind and Wave Obey the Master
23 As He got into the[a] boat,(A) His disciples(B) followed Him. 24 Suddenly, a violent storm arose on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by the waves. But He was sleeping. 25 So the disciples came and woke Him up, saying, “Lord, save us! We’re going to die!”
26 But He said to them, “Why are you fearful, you of little faith?” Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea.(C) And there was a great calm.
27 The men were amazed and asked, “What kind of man is this?—even the winds and the sea obey(D) Him!”
