Calming The Tempest

Canon S45, f5.6, 1/807 sec

"On that same day when evening had come, Jesus said to them, 'Let's go across to the other side.' So they left the crowd and took him away in the boat he had been sitting in, and other boats set out with him. Then a storm gathered and it began to blow a gale. The waves spilled over into the boat so that it was soon filled with water. And Jesus was in the stern, asleep on the cushion.

"They woke him up and said, 'Master, don't you care if we sink?' As Jesus awoke, he rebuked the wind and ordered the sea, 'Quiet now! be still!' The wind dropped and there was a great calm. Then Jesus said to them, 'Why are you so frightened? Do you still have no faith?'

"But they were terrified and they said to one another, 'Who can this be? Even the wind and the sea obey him!'"

MARK 4:35-41

"Be still, and know that I am God."
