Luke 8:19-25 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

19. Jesus’ mother and brothers came to visit him. But they could not get close to him, because there were so many people.

20. Someone said to Jesus, “Your mother and your brothers are standing outside. They want to see you.”

21. Jesus answered them, “My mother and my brothers are those who listen to God’s teaching and obey it.”

22. One day Jesus and his followers got into a boat. He said to them, “Come with me across the lake.” And so they started across.

23. While they were sailing, Jesus slept. A big storm blew across the lake, and the boat began to fill with water. They were in danger.

24. The followers went to Jesus and woke him. They said, “Master! Master! We will drown!” Jesus got up. He gave a command to the wind and the waves. The wind stopped, and the lake became calm.

25. He said to his followers, “Where is your faith?” They were afraid and amazed. They said to each other, “What kind of man is this? He commands the wind and the water, and they obey him.”
