35 In the evening of that day, Jesus said to his disciples, Let us cross over to the other side of the sea.

36 The disciples left the people and took Jesus away in the boat he was in. Other little boats were with him.

37 A very strong wind began to blow. Water came in the boat. It began to fill up with water.

38 Jesus was in the back end of the boat, sleeping with his head on a pillow. The disciples woke him up. Master, they shouted. We will die! Do you not care?

39 Then Jesus got up. He said to the wind and the sea, Stop! The wind stopped. Then all was quiet.

40 Then he said to the disciples, Why do you fear? Do you not believe in God?

41 The disciples were surprised. They said to each other, What kind of man is this? Even the wind and the sea obey him.
