One day, Jesus Christ and His disciples sailed in a boat
across the Sea of Galilee. Other boats were with them. During the voyage, Jesus was
asleep in the stern. A great storm of wind arose. The waves beat into the boat,
so that the boat was already filling with water; but still, Jesus Christ slept.
The disciples, terrified, woke the Lord and said to Him, "Lord! Save us,
we are perishing!" Jesus Christ awoke and rebuked the wind and said to the
sea, "Peace! Be still!"
Immediately, the wind ceased, and there was a
great calm.
Then, turning to the disciples, He said, "Why
are you afraid? Have you no faith?"
All who were there were filled with awe and said
to one another, "Who is this that even the wind and sea obey Him?"
