Jesus Calms the Storm
Jesus rebuked the wind and the sea and there was a great calm.
A great storm of wind arose on the Sea of Galilee, and the waves beat into the ship. Jesus was asleep on a pillow. The terrified disciples woke Him: 'Master, carest thou not that we perish?' He rebuked the wind and said to the sea, 'Peace, be still.' The wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
