FATHER'S DAY
The Storm on the Sea of Galilee, by Rembrandt,
1632. [PD-US]
On that day, as evening
drew on, Jesus said to his disciples:
“Let us cross to the other side.”
Leaving the crowd, they took Jesus with them in
the boat just as he was.
And other boats were with him.
A violent squall came up and waves were breaking
over the boat,
so that it was already filling up.
Jesus was in the stern, asleep on a cushion.
They woke him and said to him,
“Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?”
He woke up,
rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Quiet!
Be still!”
The wind ceased and there was great calm.
Then he asked them, “Why are you terrified?
Do you not yet have faith?”
They were filled with great awe and said to one
another,
“Who then is this whom even wind and sea obey?”
Mark 4:35-41
