Wind and Wave Obey Jesus^(A)

²³Now when He got into a boat, His disciples followed Him. ²⁴^(B)And suddenly a great tempest arose on the sea, so that the boat was covered with the waves. But He was asleep. ²⁵Then His disciples came to Him and awoke Him, saying, “Lord, save us! We are perishing!”

²⁶But He said to them, “Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?” Then ^(C)He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. ²⁷So the men marveled, saying, ^[a]“Who can this be, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?”

Wind and Wave Obey Jesus^(A)

³⁵^(B)On the same day, when evening had come, He said to them, “Let us cross over to the other side.” ³⁶Now when they had left the multitude, they took Him along in the boat as He was. And other little boats were also with Him. ³⁷And a great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was already filling. ³⁸But He was in the stern, asleep on a pillow. And they awoke Him and said to Him, ^(C)“Teacher, ^(D)do You not care that we are perishing?”

³⁹Then He arose and ^(E)rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, ^(F)“Peace,^[a] be still!” And the wind ceased and there was a great calm. ⁴⁰But He said to them, “Why are you so fearful? ^(G)How^[b] is it that you have no faith?” ⁴¹And they feared exceedingly, and said to one another, “Who can this be, that even the wind and the sea obey Him!”
