Jesus and the disciples
were in a boat crossing
the Sea of Galilee.
A storm arose suddenly.
Monstrous waves rose
out of the sea and slapped
the boat.
A furious squall came up,
and the waves broke
over the boat, so that it
was nearly swamped. — Mark 4: 37
Imagine yourself in the boat.
It's a sturdy vessel but
no match for these ten-foot
waves.
The force of the waves
dangerously tips the boat
until the bow seems to be
pointing straight at the sky,
and just when you fear
flipping over backward,
the vessel pitches forward
into the valley of another wave.
They called out:
„Teacher, don't you care if we drown? "
— Mark 4: 38
and the Master commanded and the sea became calm.
(From the Gospel of Mark in the New Testament of the Holy Bible) .
