Matthew 8:24-27

24 And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by the waves; but ^ahe was asleep. 25 And they went and woke him, saying, ^b“Save us, Lord; we are perishing.” 26 And he said to them, “Why are you ^cafraid, ^dO you of little faith?” Then he rose and ^erebuked the winds and the sea, and ^fthere was a great calm. 27 And the men ^gmarveled, saying, “What sort of man is this, that even ^hwinds and sea obey him?”

Acts 27:13-20

The Storm at Sea

13 Now when the south wind blew gently, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to the shore. 14 But soon a tempestuous wind, called the northeaster, ⁱstruck down from the land. 15 And when the ship was caught and could not face the wind, we gave way to it and were driven along. 16 Running under the lee of a small island called Cauda, ^{▼▼Some manuscripts Clauda} we managed with difficulty to secure the ship’s boat. 17 After hoisting it up, they used supports to undergird the ship. Then, fearing that they would ^krun aground on the Syrtis, they lowered the gear, ^{▼▼That is, the sea-anchor (or possibly the mainsail)} and thus they were driven along. 18 Since we were violently storm-tossed, they began the next day ^mto jettison the cargo. 19 And on the third day they threw the ship’s tackle overboard with their own hands. 20 When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope of our being saved was at last abandoned.
