Jesus Calms the Storm

³⁵ On that day, when evening came, Jesus said to them, “Let’s go over to the other side.” ³⁶ After leaving the crowd behind, the disciples took him along in the boat, just as he was. Other small boats also followed him. ³⁷ A great windstorm arose, and the waves were splashing into the boat, so that the boat was quickly filling up. ³⁸ Jesus himself was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. They woke him and said, “Teacher, don’t you care that we are about to drown?”

³⁹ Then he got up, rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” The wind stopped, and there was a great calm. ⁴⁰ He said to them, “Why are you so afraid? Do you still lack faith?”

⁴¹ They were filled with awe and said to one another, “Who then is this? Even the wind and the sea obey him!”
