22It happened on one of those days that he got into a boat, and his disciples with him, and he said to them, “Let us go across to the other side of the lake.” And they set out.

23And as they were sailing, he fell asleep. And a windstorm came down on the lake, and they were being swamped and were in danger.

24Then they came and woke him, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!” And he, having awakened, rebuked the wind and the surging of the water, and they ceased, and there was a calm.

25Then he said to them, “Where is your faith?” And being afraid, they marveled, saying to one another, “Who then is this, that he commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him?”
