37 Soon a terrible storm started blowing, and waves crashed against the boat, filling it with water. 38 Jesus was asleep in the stern, resting his head on a cushion. The disciples woke him up, shouting at him, "Teacher, don’t you care that we’re about to drown?"
39 Jesus woke up. He told the wind to die down and told the waves, "Be quiet! Be still." The wind stopped, and the water became completely calm. 40 "Why are you so frightened?4:40. The word used is for cowards. Haven’t you learned to trust me?" he asked them.
41 They were stunned and terrified.4:41. Although the aspect of fear is usually brought out in translations, the text indicates that they had been frightened previously. Now they were amazed, in awe at what had happened, though no doubt still terrified. They asked each other, "Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!"
