Mark 4:35-41

International Children’s Bible

Jesus Stops a Storm

³⁵ That evening, Jesus said to his followers, “Come with me across the lake.” ³⁶ He and the followers left the people there. They went in the boat that Jesus was already sitting in. There were also other boats with them. ³⁷ A very strong wind came up on the lake. The waves began coming over the sides and into the boat. It was almost full of water. ³⁸ Jesus was at the back of the boat, sleeping with his head on a pillow. The followers went to him and woke him. They said, “Teacher, do you care about us? We will drown!”

³⁹ Jesus stood up and commanded the wind and the waves to stop. He said, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind stopped, and the lake became calm.

⁴⁰ Jesus said to his followers, “Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?”

⁴¹ The followers were very afraid and asked each other, “What kind of man is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!”
