Suddenly, a fierce storm struck the lake, with waves breaking into the boat. But Jesus was sleeping.
“O storm-battered city, troubled and desolate! I will rebuild you with precious jewels and make your foundations from lapis lazuli.
The mountains watched and trembled. Onward swept the raging waters. The mighty deep cried out, lifting its hands in submission.
Then Jesus got into the boat and started across the lake with his disciples.
The disciples went and woke him up, shouting, “Lord, save us! We’re going to drown!”
As they sailed across, Jesus settled down for a nap. But soon a fierce storm came down on the lake. The boat was filling with water, and they were in real danger.
And for your sakes, I’m glad I wasn’t there, for now you will really believe. Come, let’s go see him.”
