Mark 4:35–5:1

Jesus Calms the Sea—Matthew 8:23–27; Luke 8:22–25

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!”
