Stilling the Storm

Unlocked Literal Bible (ULB)

Mat 8:23–27

23 When Jesus had entered a boat, his disciples followed him into it.
24 Behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was covered with the waves. But Jesus was asleep.
25 The disciples came to him and woke him up, saying, “Save us, Lord; we are about to die!”
26 Jesus said to them, “Why are you afraid, you of little faith?” Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the sea. Then there was a great calm.
27 The men marveled and said, “What sort of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him?”

35 On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, “Let us go over to the other side.”
36 So they left the crowd, taking Jesus with them, just as he was, in the boat. There were other boats going along with him.
37 Just then a violent windstorm arose and the waves were breaking into the boat so that the boat was almost full of water.
38 But Jesus himself was in the stern, asleep on a cushion. They woke him up, saying, “Teacher, do you not care that we are about to die?”
39 He got up, rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” Then the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
40 Then he said to them, “Why are you afraid? Do you still not have faith?”
41 They were filled with great fear and said to one another, “Who then is this, because even the wind and the sea obey him?”

22 Now one day he got into a boat with his disciples, and he said to them, “Let us go over to the other side of the lake.” They set sail.
23 But as they sailed he fell asleep. A terrible windstorm came down on the lake, and their boat was filling with water, and they were in danger.
24 Then Jesus' disciples came over to him and woke him up, saying, “Master! Master! We are about to die!” He awoke and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water, and they ceased, and there was a calm.
25 Then he said to them, “Where is your faith?” and they were afraid. While they were afraid they were also amazed, and they asked one another, “Who then is this, that he commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him?”
