Matthew 8:25

Wind and Wave Obey Jesus

23 Now when He got into a boat, His disciples followed Him.

24 ^aAnd suddenly a great tempest arose on the sea, so that the boat was covered with the waves. But He was asleep.

25 Then His disciples came to Him and awoke Him, saying, “Lord, save us! We are perishing!”

26 But He said to them, “Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?” Then ^aHe arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm.

27 So the men marveled, saying,¹ “Who can this be, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?”

Two Demon-Possessed Men Healed

28 ^aWhen He had come to the other side, to the country of the¹ Gergesenes, there met Him two demon-possessed men, coming out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that no one could pass that way.

Matthew 8:25

Save us - Save our lives.

We perish - We are in danger of perishing. This showed great confidence in the Saviour. It shows, also, where sinners and Christians should always go who feel that they are in danger of perishing. There is none that can save from the storms of divine wrath but the Son of God.
