The sea was getting rougher and rougher. So they asked him, “What should we do to you to make the sea calm down for us?”
This terrified them and they asked, “What have you done?” (They knew he was running away from the Lord, because he had already told them so.)
“Pick me up and throw me into the sea,” he replied, “and it will become calm. I know that it is my fault that this great storm has come upon you.”
