Stilling of the storm on the Sea
One day, after Jesus had finished preaching to the
people, and had been tired, he entered the boat with his disciples to cross to
another side of the Lake, away from the crowd.
When he entered the boat, being tired, he went to the deeper
part of the boat and fell asleep. At a certain point in their journey, they
were met by a fierce storm. The storm rocked the boat and water had started entering
the boat. The disciples were really scared. Meanwhile, Jesus was still sleeping
on a cushion inside the boat.
The disciples went to Jesus and asked him whether he did not
care if they perished. Mark recorded “Teacher, do not care if we perished?”, Matthew
recorded “Save, Lord we are perishing" and Luke wrote that “Master, master, we
are perishing”.
When Jesus woke up, he spoke to the storm by saying, “Peace
be still.” After he spoke these words, the storm ceased. The disciples were
surprised and declared “Who is this man that even the wind and the Sea obey
him?”
