Jesus, wanting some time of rest, asked them
to get the boat ready to go over to the other
side. They then set sail for the other side of
the lake. (Mark 4:37-39)

Jesus laid at the rear of the boat to get some
sleep. About the time they reached the center
of the lake the wind and waves were really
beating against the boat to cause concern and
distress to the men. They did every thing
they knew to keep the boat upright.

At their alarm and request, Jesus got up and
took authority over the situation. They were
amazed that He had power over the winds and
the waves.

It is certain that the storm was caused by Satan
to try to destroy the whole group, for he didn't
know what power Jesus has over his works.
