Matthew 8:23-27

Jesus Calms a Storm

23 ¹And when he got into the boat, his disciples followed him.

24 And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by the waves; but ²he was asleep.

25 And they went and woke him, saying, ³“Save us, Lord; we are perishing. ”

26 And he said to them, “Why are you ⁴afraid, ⁵O you of little faith? ”Then he rose and ⁶rebuked the winds and the sea, and ⁷there was a great calm.

27 And the men ⁸marveled, saying, “What sort of man is this, that even ⁹winds and sea obey him? ”
