Context of Luke 8:22
20Someone told Jesus, “Your mother and your brothers are standing outside. They want to see you.” 21He answered them, “My mother and my brothers are those who hear and do what God’s word says.” One day Jesus and his disciples got into a boat. He said to them, “Let’s cross to the other side of the lake.” So they started out. 23As they were sailing along, Jesus fell asleep. A violent storm came across the lake. The boat was taking on water, and they were in danger. 24They went to him, woke him up, and said, “Master! Master! We’re going to die!” Then he got up and ordered the wind and the waves to stop. The wind stopped, and the sea became calm.
