Day 04 · Mark 4:35–41 · Berean Standard Bible
Fear in the storm
At evening Jesus and the disciples cross the lake. A severe windstorm fills the boat with water while Jesus sleeps in the stern. He rebukes the wind and sea, then questions the disciples' fear and faith; they ask who he is.
Mark 4:35–41
35 When that evening came, He said to His disciples, “Let us cross to the other side.”
36 After they had dismissed the crowd, they took Jesus with them, since He was already in the boat. And there were other boats with Him.
37 Soon a violent windstorm came up, and the waves were breaking over the boat, so that it was being swamped.
38 But Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on the cushion. So they woke Him and said, “Teacher, don’t You care that we are perishing?”
39 Then Jesus got up and rebuked the wind and the sea. “Silence!” He commanded. “Be still!” And the wind died down, and it was perfectly calm.
40 “Why are you so afraid?” He asked. “Do you still have no faith?”
41 Overwhelmed with fear, they asked one another, “Who is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?”
