One day Jesus said to his disciples,“ Let’s go over to the other side of the lake.” So they got into a boat and left.As they sailed, Jesus fell asleep. A storm came down on the lake. It was so bad that the boat was about to sink. They were in great danger.The disciples went and woke Jesus up. They said,“ Master! Master! We’re going to drown!” He got up and ordered the wind and the huge waves to stop. The storm quieted down. It was completely calm.“ Where is your faith?” he asked his disciples. They were amazed and full of fear. They asked one another,“ Who is this? He commands even the winds and the waves, and they obey him.”
They left the crowd behind. And they took him along in a boat, just as he was. There were also other boats with him.A wild storm came up. Waves crashed over the boat. It was about to sink.Jesus was in the back, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him up. They said,“ Teacher! Don’t you care if we drown?”He got up and ordered the wind to stop. He said to the waves,“ Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down. And it was completely calm.He said to his disciples,“ Why are you so afraid? Don’t you have any faith at all yet?”They were terrified. They asked each other,“ Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!”
So Jesus replied to the messengers,“ Go back to John. Tell him what you have seen and heard. Blind people receive sight. Disabled people walk. Those who have skin diseases are made‘ clean.’ Deaf people hear. Those who are dead are raised to life. And the good news is announced to those who are poor.
