Stilling the Storm

Free Bible Version (FBV)

Mat 8:23–27

23 Then Jesus got into a boat and his disciples went with him.
24 A violent storm suddenly blew up, and waves crashed over the boat, but Jesus went on sleeping.
25 The disciples went over to him and woke him up. “Save us, Lord! We're going to drown!” they shouted.
26 “Why are you so afraid? Why do you trust so little?” he asked them. Then he got up, and commanded the winds and the waves to stop. Everything was absolutely calm.
27 The disciples were astonished, and said, “Who is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him!”

35 Later that day, in the evening, he said to his disciples, “Let's go across to the other side of the Sea.”
36 Leaving the crowd behind, the disciples went with Jesus and got into a boat. Other boats went with them.
37 Soon a terrible storm started blowing, and waves crashed against the boat, filling it with water.
38 Jesus was asleep in the stern, resting his head on a cushion. The disciples woke him up, shouting at him, “Teacher, don't you care that we're about to drown?”
39 Jesus woke up. He told the wind to die down and told the waves, “Be quiet! Be still.” The wind stopped, and the water became completely calm.
40 “Why are you so frightened? Haven't you learned to trust me?” he asked them.
41 They were stunned and terrified. They asked each other, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!”

22 One day Jesus said to his disciples, “Let's cross over to the other side of the lake.” So they got into a boat and set off.
23 As they were sailing, Jesus fell asleep, and a storm came down on the lake. The boat began filling with water and they were in danger of sinking.
24 They went over to Jesus and woke him up. “Master, master, we're going to drown!” they said. Jesus woke up and commanded the wind and the rough waves to stop. They stopped, and all was calm.
25 “Where is your trust?” he asked them. Terrified and amazed, they said to each other, “So who is this? He gives commands to the winds and the water, and they obey him!”
