Jesus Commands the Winds and the Waves

Jesus was asleep in a boat

Jesus and His disciples were in a boat on the Sea of Galilee, and Jesus fell asleep. The wind began to blow, and the waves were filling the boat with water. The disciples were afraid. They woke Jesus. Luke 8:22–24

Jesus commanded the wind to stop

The Savior stood up and commanded the wind to stop blowing and the waves to go down. The wind stopped blowing, and the sea became calm. Luke 8:24

The disciples were afraid

Jesus asked the disciples why they were afraid. He said they should have more faith. They wanted to know what kind of man Jesus was to have even the winds and the waves obey Him. Luke 8:25
