That evening Jesus told his disciples to go across to the other side of the lake. Leaving the crowd behind, they took him in the boat as he was. Other boats went with them.
A fierce wind arose and waves beat into the boat until it was filled with water. Jesus was asleep on a cushion in the stern.
The disciples woke him and asked whether he cared that they were about to die. Jesus got up, rebuked the wind, and told the sea to be still.
The wind stopped and there was a great calm.
Jesus asked his disciples why they were so afraid and how they could have no faith.
The disciples were filled with great fear and asked one another who Jesus was, that even the wind and the sea obeyed him.
