33 With|strong="G2532" many|strong="G4183" such|strong="G5108" parables|strong="G3850" Jesus|strong="G2532" used to|strong="G2532" speak|strong="G2980" to|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" people|strong="G4183" of|strong="G3056" his|strong="G2532" message|strong="G3056", as|strong="G2531" far|strong="G3588" as|strong="G2531" they|strong="G2532" were|strong="G3588" able|strong="G1410" to|strong="G2532" receive it|strong="G2532";

35 In|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" evening|strong="G3798" of|strong="G2250" the|strong="G1722" same|strong="G1565" day|strong="G2250", Jesus|strong="G3004" said|strong="G3004" to|strong="G1519" them|strong="G3588", ‘\+w Let|strong="G1096"\+w* \+w us|strong="G3004"\+w* \+w go|strong="G1330"\+w* \+w across|strong="G4008"\+w*.’
36 So|strong="G2532", leaving|strong="G3588" the|strong="G1722" crowd|strong="G3793" behind|strong="G3326", they|strong="G2532" took|strong="G3880" him|strong="G3588" with|strong="G3326" them|strong="G3588", just|strong="G5613" as|strong="G5613" he|strong="G2532" was|strong="G1510", in|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" boat|strong="G4143"; and|strong="G2532" there|strong="G2532" were|strong="G1510" other|strong="G3588" boats|strong="G4143" with|strong="G3326" him|strong="G3588".
37 A|strong="G1096" violent squall came|strong="G1096" on|strong="G1519", and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" waves|strong="G2949" kept|strong="G2532" dashing into|strong="G1519" the|strong="G2532" boat|strong="G4143", so|strong="G2532" that|strong="G3588" the|strong="G2532" boat|strong="G4143" was|strong="G1096" actually|strong="G2532" filling|strong="G1072".
38 Jesus|strong="G3004" was|strong="G1510" in|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" stern|strong="G4403" asleep|strong="G2518" on|strong="G1909" the|strong="G1722" cushion|strong="G4344"; and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G1722" disciples|strong="G1510" roused him|strong="G3588" and|strong="G2532" cried|strong="G2532", ‘Teacher|strong="G1320"!

39 Jesus|strong="G3004" rose|strong="G2532" and|strong="G2532" rebuked|strong="G2008" the|strong="G2532" wind, and|strong="G2532" said|strong="G3004" to|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" sea|strong="G2281", ‘\+w Hush|strong="G4623"\+w*! \+w Be|strong="G1096"\+w* \+w still|strong="G5392"\+w*!’ Then|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" wind dropped, and|strong="G2532" a|strong="G1096" great|strong="G3173" calm|strong="G1055" followed|strong="G1096".
40 ‘\+w Why|strong="G5101"\+w* \+w are|strong="G1510"\+w* \+w you|strong="G3004"\+w* \+w so|strong="G3779"\+w* timid?’ he|strong="G2532" exclaimed|strong="G3004". ‘\+w Have|strong="G2192"\+w* \+w you|strong="G3004"\+w* \+w no|strong="G3756"\+w* \+w faith|strong="G4102"\+w* \+w yet|strong="G2532"\+w*?’
