In this narrative found in the gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, Jesus and his disciples are crossing the Sea of Galilee in a boat when a fierce storm arises. The waves and wind batter the boat, and the disciples fear for their lives. Jesus, however, is asleep in the stern of the boat. The disciples awaken him, and he rebukes the wind and waves, commanding them to be still. The sea immediately calms, and the disciples are amazed at Jesus' power.
This miracle demonstrates Jesus' authority over nature and reinforces the disciples' faith in him as the Son of God.
