Jesus Calms the Storm

Mark 4:35–41

WHAT HAPPENED

When evening came, Jesus said it was time to go to the other side. A great windstorm came, and waves beat into the boat until it was filling. Jesus was asleep in the stern on a pillow, so they woke Him and told Him they were perishing. Jesus got up, spoke to the wind and the sea, and then everything became calm.
