³⁵On the evening of that same day Jesus said to his disciples, “Let us go across to the other side of the lake.” ³⁶So they left the crowd; the disciples got into the boat in which Jesus was already sitting, and they took him with them. Other boats were there too. ³⁷Suddenly a strong wind blew up, and the waves began to spill over into the boat, so that it was about to fill with water. ³⁸Jesus was in the back of the boat, sleeping with his head on a pillow. The disciples woke him up and said, “Teacher, don’t you care that we are about to die?”

³⁹Jesus stood up and commanded the wind, “Be quiet!” and he said to the waves, “Be still!” The wind died down, and there was a great calm. ⁴⁰Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Why are you frightened? Have you still no faith?”

⁴¹But they were terribly afraid and said to one another, “Who is this man? Even the wind and the waves obey him!”

Be still!” And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. He said to them, “Why are you so afraid?

And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish? And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
