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?* Haven't you learned to trust me?" he asked them.
