³⁵That evening, Jesus said to his followers, “Let’s go across the lake.” ³⁶Leaving the crowd behind, they took him in the boat just as he was. There were also other boats with them. ³⁷A very strong wind came up on the lake. The waves came over the sides and into the boat so that it was already full of water. ³⁸Jesus was at the back of the boat, sleeping with his head on a cushion. His followers woke him and said, “Teacher, don’t you care that we are drowning!”

³⁹Jesus stood up and commanded the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind stopped, and it became completely calm.

⁴⁰Jesus said to his followers, “Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?”

⁴¹The followers were very afraid and asked each other, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!”

A Man with Demons Inside Him
