"Why are you so easily frightened," He replied, "you men of little faith?" Then He rose and reproved the winds and the waves, and there was a perfect calm;
and the men, filled with amazement, exclaimed, "What kind of man is this? for the very winds and waves obey him!"
Meanwhile the boat was far out on the Lake, buffeted and tossed by the waves, the wind being adverse.

"Where is your faith?" He asked them. But they were filled with terror and amazement, and said to one another, "Who then is this? for He gives orders both to wind and waves, and they obey Him."

wild waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, for whom is reserved dense darkness of age-long duration.
