As the Lord saw the multitudes around Him, He entered into one of the fishing boats which were moored to the shore, and He talked to the people from there, because they could hear Him better.
So all day He sat and talked to them, until evening came on, and then He said to His disciples, "Let us go over to the other side of the lake."
And when His disciples had sent the multitude away, they took Jesus, just as He was, in the ship. And there were other little ships with Him.
But soon a great storm of wind swept down between the mountains, and the waves beat into the ship so that it was now full.
And He was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow. And they awoke Him, and said unto Him, "Master, carest Thou not that we perish?"
And Jesus arose, and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, "Peace, be still!"
And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
And Jesus said to them, "Why are ye so fearful? How is it that ye have no faith?"
And the disciples feared exceedingly, and said one to another, "What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?"
Children! It is because Jesus is the Son of God, that He can do these wonderful miracles!
