Mark 4:32-40

³²yet when it is sown, it grows up and becomes larger than all the garden herbs and produces big branches, so that the birds of the air are able to rest in its shade.”

³³It was with many such parables that He was speaking the word to them, as they were able to hear it.

³⁴But apart from a parable He did not speak to them; privately, however, He would explain everything to His disciples.

³⁵On the same day, when evening had come, He said to them, “Let us go across to the other side.”

³⁶Since He was already in the boat, they took off with Him, leaving the crowd behind (other little boats were also with Him).

³⁷Well a strong cyclonic wind came up, such that the waves beat into the boat, so that it was already filling up.

³⁸But He was on the poop deck, sleeping on the cushion; so they awakened Him and said to Him, “Teacher, don't you care that we are perishing?”

³⁹Then, having been awakened, He rebuked the wind and said to the sea, “Shut up; be muzzled!” So the wind stopped and there was a complete calm.

⁴⁰And He said to them: “Why are you so afraid? How is it that you have no faith?”
