(73) Jesus Calms the Storm

Matthew 8:18,23-27, Mark 4:35-41, Luke 8:22-25

      [A]That same day, when evening came, seeing great multitudes around Him, Jesus and His disciples entered a boat. “Let’s go over to the other side of the lake,” Jesus ordered.

      [B]When they had sent the crowd away, they took Him just as He was in the boat and launched out, with His other disciples following Him in little boats.

      [C]As they sailed He fell asleep. And look, there arose a great tempest in the sea. The windstorm came down so great that the boat was covered with the beating waves. They were filled with water and were in jeopardy -- but He was asleep. [D]He was sleeping on a pillow in the back part of the boat. So they came and awoke Him, saying, “Master, Master, we’re going to perish! Don’t you care? Lord, save us!”

      [E]And He said to them, “Why are you afraid, O you of little faith?” Then He arose and rebuked the wind and said to the raging sea: “Peace, be still.” And they ceased; and there was a great calm.

      [F]Then He said to them, “Why are you so afraid? Where is your faith?” He also asked, “How is it that you have no faith?”

      And they, being exceedingly afraid, wondered with amazement and said to one another, “What manner of man is this? For He commands even the winds and waters of the sea, and they obey Him!”

18 Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave commandment to depart unto the other side.

23 And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him. 24 And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep. 25 And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish. 26 And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm. 27 But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!

35 And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side. 36 And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships. 37 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. 38 And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish? 39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. 40 And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith? 41 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?

22 Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake. And they launched forth. 23 But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy. 24 And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm. 25 And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him.
