Jesus and His friends got into a boat to cross the lake. Jesus was tired and fell asleep on a pillow.
A huge storm came! Waves crashed into the boat, and it started filling with water. The disciples woke Jesus up. “Don't you care that we're sinking?”
Jesus stood up and said to the wind and waves, “Peace! Be still!” Everything went calm. The disciples said, “Who is this? Even the wind and waves obey Him!”
