Yet Jesus ^{▼▼Lit. he} kept sleeping.Mark 4:37; Luke 8:23 25 They ^{▼▼Other mss. read The disciples} went to him and woke him up, saying, “Lord, save us! We're going to die!”

Mark 4:35-41

35 Jesus Calms the Sea Matthew 8:23-27; Luke 8:22-25That day, when evening had come, he said to them, “Let's cross to the other side.”Matt 8:18, 23; Luke 8:22 36 So they left the crowd and took him along in the boat just as he was. ^{▼▼I.e. without making any special preparations} Other boats were with him. 37 A violent windstorm came up, and the waves began breaking into the boat, so that the boat was rapidly ^{▼▼Lit. already} becoming swamped.

38 But Jesus ^{▼▼Lit. he} was in the back of the boat, asleep on a cushion. So they woke him up and said to him, “Teacher, don't you care that we're going to die?”

39 Then he got up, rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Hush! Be still!” Then the wind stopped blowing, and there was a great calm. 40 He said to them, “Why are you such cowards? Don't you have any faith yet?”

41 They were overcome with fear and kept saying to one another, “Who is this man? Even the wind and the sea obey him!”
