Mark 4:35-41

35That evening, Jesus said to his disciples, “Let’s cross to the other side.”

36Leaving the crowd, they took Jesus along in a boat just as he was. Other boats were with him.

37A violent windstorm came up. The waves were breaking into the boat so that it was quickly filling up.

38But he was sleeping on a cushion in the back of the boat. So they woke him up and said to him, “Teacher, don’t you care that we’re going to die?”

39Then he got up, ordered the wind to stop, and said to the sea, “Be still, absolutely still!” The wind stopped blowing, and the sea became very calm.

40He asked them, “Why are you such cowards? Don’t you have any faith yet?”

41They were overcome with fear and asked each other, “Who is this man? Even the wind and the sea obey him!”
