Matthew 8:23-27

Contemporary English Version

A Storm

(Mark 4.35-41; Luke 8.22-25)

²³ After Jesus left in a boat with his disciples, ²⁴ a terrible storm suddenly struck the lake, and waves started splashing into their boat.

Jesus was sound asleep, ²⁵ so the disciples went over to him and woke him up. They said, “Lord, wake up! Save us before we drown!”

²⁶ But Jesus replied, “Why are you so afraid? You surely don't have much faith.” Then he got up and ordered the wind and the waves to calm down. And everything was calm.

²⁷ The men in the boat were amazed and said, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him.”
