Then were the men exceedingly afraid, and said to him, *What is this that you have done?* For the men knew that he was fleeing from the presence of the LORD, because he had told them.
He said to them, *Take me up, and throw me into the sea. Then the sea will be calm for you; for I know that because of me this great storm is on you.*
