And other boats were with him. 37 And a great storm of wind developed, and the waves were breaking into the boat, so that the boat was already being filled with water.**The words "with water" are not in the Greek text but are implied38 And he was in the stern sleeping on the cushion, and they woke him up and said to him, "Teacher, is it not a concern to you that we are perishing?" 39 And he woke up and**Here "and" is supplied because the previous participle ("woke up") has been translated as a finite verb rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, "Be quiet! Be silent!" And the wind abated and there was a great calm. 40 And he said to them, "Why are you fearful? Do you not yet have faith?" 41 And they were terribly frightened*Literally "they feared a great fear" and began to say*The imperfect tense has been translated as ingressive here ("began to say") to one another, "Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?"
