Mark 4:35
33 With many such parables Jesus spoke the word to them, to the extent that they could understand.
34 He did not tell them anything without using a parable. But privately He explained everything to His own disciples.
When that evening came, He said to His disciples, “Let us cross to the other side.”
36 After they had dismissed the crowd, they took Jesus with them, since He was already in the boat. And there were other boats with Him.
37 Soon a violent windstorm came up, and the waves were breaking over the boat, so that it was being swamped.
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
