On that day, when evening had come, he
said to them, “Let us go across to the other
side.” And leaving the crowd, they took
him with them in the boat, just as he was.
And other boats were with him. And a
great windstorm arose, and the waves were
breaking into the boat, so that the boat was
already filling.

3. Mark 4:38-39
But he was in the stern, asleep on the
cushion. And they woke him and said to
him, “Teacher, do you not care that we are
perishing?” And he awoke and rebuked the
wind and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!”
And the wind ceased, and there was a great
calm.
