Mark 4:39

Miracles and God's interventionGod's power and sovereigntyJesus ChristPeace

37 Soon a violent windstorm came up, and the waves were breaking over the boat, so that it was being swamped.

38 But Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on the cushion. So they woke Him and said, “Teacher, don’t You care that we are perishing?”

Then Jesus got up and rebuked the wind and the sea. “Silence!” He commanded. “Be still!” And the wind died down, and it was perfectly calm.

40 “Why are you so afraid?” He asked. “Do you still have no faith?”

41 Overwhelmed with fear, they asked one another, “Who is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?”
