*
Jesus seeing himself crowded on all sides ,
gave orders to pass to the opposite shore .
*
Meantime ,
a scribe accosted him ,
saying ,
Rabbi ,
I will follow you whithersoever you go .
*
Jesus answered ,
*
Another ,
one of his disciples ,
said to him ,
Master ,
permit me to go first ,
and bury my father .
*
Jesus answered ,
*
Then entering the bark ,
his disciples followed him .
*
Soon after there arose in the sea so great a tempest ,
that the bark was covered with billows .
But he being asleep ,
*
the disciples came and waked him ,
saying ,
Save us ,
Master ,
we perish .
*
He answered ,
Then he arose ,
and having commanded the winds and the sea ,
a great calm ensued ;
*
insomuch that every one exclaimed with admiration ,
What personage is this ,
whom even the winds and the sea obey .
