Mark 4:33-41

New International Version

³³ With many similar parables Jesus spoke the word to them, as much as they could understand.^{(A) 34} He did not say anything to them without using a parable.^(B) But when he was alone with his own disciples, he explained everything.

Jesus Calms the Storm^(C)

³⁵ That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side.” ³⁶ Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat.^(D) There were also other boats with him. ³⁷ A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped. ³⁸ Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, “Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?”

³⁹ He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down and it was completely calm.

⁴⁰ He said to his disciples, “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?”^(E)

⁴¹ They were terrified and asked each other, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!”
