Mark 4:35-41

35On that same day, in the evening, Jesus said to his disciples, ‘We should go across the lake to the other side.’

36So they went and left the crowd behind. Jesus was already in the boat. So the disciples took him across the lake. Some other boats also went with them.

37Then a strong wind began to blow across the lake. Water began to go into the boat and fill it. Soon the boat was almost going under the water.

38Jesus was in a comfortable place at the back of the boat. He was sleeping. The disciples woke him. They said to him, ‘Teacher, we will die here in the water! Please do something!’

39Jesus woke up and he spoke strongly to the wind and to the water. ‘Be quiet!’ he said. ‘Stop!’ Then the wind stopped and the water became quiet again.

40Jesus said to his disciples, ‘You should not be afraid like that. You should trust me.’

41But the disciples became very afraid. They said to each other, ‘Who is this man? Even the wind and the water obey him.’
