And the rain fell and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock.

And the rain fell and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it fell—and its collapse was great.”

He *said to them, “Why are you afraid, you men of little faith?” Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and it became perfectly calm.

The men were amazed, and said, “What kind of a man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?”

Jesus’ Tribute to John

As these disciples of John were going away, Jesus began speaking to the crowds about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

But the boat was already a long distance from the land, battered by the waves; for the wind was contrary.

But seeing the wind, he became frightened, and when he began to sink, he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!”

When they got into the boat, the wind stopped.

And He will send forth His angels with a great trumpet blast, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.
