Luke 8:22-25

Jesus Calms a Storm

22 ¹One day he got into a boat with his disciples, and he said to them, "Let us go across to the other side of ²the lake." So they set out,

23 and as they sailed he fell asleep. And a windstorm came down on ³the lake, and they were filling with water and were in danger.

24 And they went and woke him, saying, "Master, Master, we are perishing!" And he awoke and ⁴rebuked the wind and the raging waves, and they ceased, ⁵and there was a calm.

25 He said to them, "Where is your faith?" And they ⁶were afraid, and they ⁷marveled, saying to one another, "Who then is this, that ⁸he commands even winds and water, and they obey him?"
