Translation

Behold, a great storm arose on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by the waves, but he was asleep. They went and woke him, saying: "Save us, we are perishing!" He said to them: "Why are you afraid, you faithless ones?" Then he went and rebuked the sea, and there was a great calm. The men marveled, saying: "What sort of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?"
