Matthew 8:25-26
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
25 (A)They came and woke him, saying, “Lord, save us![a] We are perishing!” 26 He said to them, “Why are you terrified, O you of little faith?”[b] Then he got up, rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was great calm.

- 8:25 The reverent plea of the disciples contrasts sharply with their reproach of Jesus in Mk 4:38.
- 8:26 You of little faith: see note on Mt 6:30. Great calm: Jesus’ calming the sea may be meant to recall the Old Testament theme of God’s control over the chaotic waters (Ps 65:8; 89:10; 93:3–4; 107:29).
