Jesus stood up and commanded the wind, "Be quiet!" and he said to the waves, "Be still!" The wind died down, and there was a great calm.

The ocean depths raise their voice, O LORD; they raise their voice and roar.

The LORD rules supreme in heaven, greater than the roar of the ocean, more powerful than the waves of the sea.

Then in their trouble they called to the LORD, and he saved them from their distress.

They were glad because of the calm, and he brought them safe to the port they wanted.

"Why are you so frightened?" Jesus answered. "What little faith you have!" Then he got up and ordered the winds and the waves to stop, and there was a great calm.

Everyone was amazed. "What kind of man is this?" they said. "Even the winds and the waves obey him!"

Then Peter spoke up. "Lord, if it is really you, order me to come out on the water to you."

But when he noticed the strong wind, he was afraid and started to sink down in the water. "Save me, Lord!" he cried.

The disciples went to Jesus and woke him up, saying, "Master, Master! We are about to die!" Jesus got up and gave an order to the wind and to the stormy water; they quieted down, and there was a great calm.

Then he said to the disciples, "Where is your faith?" But they were amazed and afraid, and said to one another, "Who is this man? He gives orders to the winds and waves, and they obey him!"

The people were all so amazed that they started saying to one another, "What is this? Is it some kind of new teaching? This man has authority to give orders to the evil spirits, and they obey him!"

While they all watched, the man got up, picked up his mat, and hurried away. They were all completely amazed and praised God, saying, "We have never seen anything like this!"

But they were terribly afraid and began to say to one another, "Who is this man? Even the wind and the waves obey him!"

She got up at once and started walking around. (She was twelve years old.) When this happened, they were completely amazed.

And all who heard were completely amazed. "How well he does everything!" they exclaimed. "He even causes the deaf to hear and the dumb to speak!"
