Calming the stormy sea
(Matthew 8:23-27, Mark 4:35-41, Luke 8:22-25)
While Jesus and his disciples were in a boat crossing a lake (possibly the Sea of Galilee), a storm frightened his disciples while Jesus slept. They awoke Jesus, fearful that the storm would harm them. Jesus then miraculously calmed the storm.
As explained in the Gospel of Matthew:While Jesus and his disciples were in a boat crossing a lake (possibly the Sea of Galilee), a storm frightened his disciples while Jesus slept. They awoke Jesus, fearful that the storm would harm them. Jesus then miraculously calmed the storm.
Then he got into the boat and his disciples followed
him. Suddenly a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves
swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. The disciples went and woke
him, saying, "Lord, save us! We're going to drown!"
He replied, "You of little faith, why are you so afraid?" Then he got up
and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm.
