Mateus 8

Jesus controls wind and wave

23 Now when He got into the boat, His disciples followed Him. 24 And then—a great tempest*The word rendered ‘tempest’ usually means ‘earthquake’; one could render, "there was a big earthquake in the sea"—which would produce sudden, unexpected waves. Maybe that is what happened (that lake is right on a major fault line). arose on the sea, so that the boat was covered by the waves. But He was sleeping. 25 So the disciples came and awakened Him saying, "Lord, save us! We are perishing!" 26 And He says to them, "Why are you cowardly, you little-faiths?" Then rising He rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm.*The implication is that they should have solved the problem. Again Jesus undoes the consequences, as well as the cause. 27 So the men marveled, saying, "What sort of being is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?"*Well, what were the options? Jesus obviously had supernatural power.
