Jesus calms the storm

Jesus told the wind and waves, “Be still!” and the storm stopped.

Read

³⁵On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, “Let’s go over to the other side.” ³⁶Leaving the multitude, they took him with them, even as he was, in the boat. Other small boats were also with him. ³⁷A big wind storm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so much that the boat was already filled. ³⁸He himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion, and they woke him up, and told him, “Teacher, don’t you care that we are dying?” ³⁹He awoke, and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” The wind ceased, and there was a great calm. ⁴⁰He said to them, “Why are you so afraid? How is it that you have no faith?” ⁴¹They were greatly afraid, and said to one another, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”
