Calming of a Storm
23 And as[a] he got into the boat, his disciples followed him. 24 And behold, a great storm arose on the sea, so that the boat was being inundated by the waves, but he himself was asleep. 25 And they came and[b] woke him, saying, “Lord, save us![c] We are perishing!” 26 And he said to them, “Why are you fearful, you of little faith?” Then he got up and[d] rebuked the winds and the sea and there was a great calm. 27 And the men were astonished, saying, “What sort of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him?”
