Suddenly a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping.

Suddenly a terrible storm came up on the lake. The waves crashed over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping.

And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by the waves; but he was asleep.

Suddenly, a violent storm arose on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by the waves. But He was sleeping.

And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep.

And a great storm developed on the sea so that the waves began to swamp the boat. But he was asleep.

Behold, a violent storm came up on the sea, so much that the boat was covered with the waves, but he was asleep.

As they sailed across, Jesus settled down for a nap. But soon a fierce storm came down on the lake. The boat was filling with water, and they were in real danger.

But soon a fierce storm came up. High waves were breaking into the boat, and it began to fill with water.Jesus was sleeping at the back of the boat with his head on a cushion. The disciples woke him up, shouting,“ Teacher, don’t you care that we’re going to drown?”

Some went off to sea in ships, plying the trade routes of the world.They, too, observed the Lord’s power in action, his impressive works on the deepest seas.He spoke, and the winds rose, stirring up the waves.Their ships were tossed to the heavens and plunged again to the depths; the sailors cringed in terror.They reeled and staggered like drunkards and were at their wits’ end.

But as darkness fell and Jesus still hadn’t come back, they got into the boat and headed across the lake toward Capernaum.Soon a gale swept down upon them, and the sea grew very rough.

But the weather changed abruptly, and a wind of typhoon strength( called a“ northeaster”) burst across the island and blew us out to sea.The sailors couldn’t turn the ship into the wind, so they gave up and let it run before the gale.We sailed along the sheltered side of a small island named Cauda, where with great difficulty we hoisted aboard the lifeboat being towed behind us.Then the sailors bound ropes around the hull of the ship to strengthen it. They were afraid of being driven across to the sandbars of Syrtis off the African coast, so they lowered the sea anchor to slow the ship and were driven before the wind.The next day, as gale force winds continued to batter the ship, the crew began throwing the cargo overboard.The following day they even took some of the ship’s gear and threw it overboard.The terrible storm raged for many days, blotting out the sun and the stars, until at last all hope was gone.No one had eaten for a long time. Finally, Paul called the crew together and said,“ Men, you should have listened to me in the first place and not left Crete. You would have avoided all this damage and loss.But take courage! None of you will lose your lives, even though the ship will go down.For last night an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve stood beside me,and he said,‘ Don’t be afraid, Paul, for you will surely stand trial before Caesar! What’s more, God in his goodness has granted safety to everyone sailing with you.’So take courage! For I believe God. It will be just as he said.But we will be shipwrecked on an island.”About midnight on the fourteenth night of the storm, as we were being driven across the Sea of Adria, the sailors sensed land was near.They dropped a weighted line and found that the water was 120 feet deep. But a little later they measured again and found it was only 90 feet deep.At this rate they were afraid we would soon be driven against the rocks along the shore, so they threw out four anchors from the back of the ship and prayed for daylight.Then the sailors tried to abandon the ship; they lowered the lifeboat as though they were going to put out anchors from the front of the ship.But Paul said to the commanding officer and the soldiers,“ You will all die unless the sailors stay aboard.”So the soldiers cut the ropes to the lifeboat and let it drift away.Just as day was dawning, Paul urged everyone to eat.“ You have been so worried that you haven’t touched food for two weeks,” he said.“ Please eat something now for your own good. For not a hair of your heads will perish.”Then he took some bread, gave thanks to God before them all, and broke off a piece and ate it.Then everyone was encouraged and began to eat—all 276 of us who were on board.After eating, the crew lightened the ship further by throwing the cargo of wheat overboard.

But the Lord hurled a powerful wind over the sea, causing a violent storm that threatened to break the ship apart.Fearing for their lives, the desperate sailors shouted to their gods for help and threw the cargo overboard to lighten the ship. But all this time Jonah was sound asleep down in the hold.

Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I was stoned. Three times I was shipwrecked. Once I spent a whole night and a day adrift at sea.I have traveled on many long journeys. I have faced danger from rivers and from robbers. I have faced danger from my own people, the Jews, as well as from the Gentiles. I have faced danger in the cities, in the deserts, and on the seas. And I have faced danger from men who claim to be believers but are not.

And for your sakes, I’m glad I wasn’t there, for now you will really believe. Come, let’s go see him.”

“ O storm battered city, troubled and desolate! I will rebuild you with precious jewels and make your foundations from lapis lazuli.

So although Jesus loved Martha, Mary, and Lazarus,he stayed where he was for the next two days.
