Mark 4:32-40 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

32. And when it is sown, it grows up and becomes greater than all the plants, and it produces great branches, so much so that the birds of the air are able to live under its shadow."

33. And with many such parables he spoke the word to them, as much as they were able to hear.

34. But he did not speak to them without a parable. Yet separately, he explained all things to his disciples.

35. And on that day, when evening had arrived, he said to them, "Let us cross over."

36. And dismissing the crowd, they brought him, so that he was in one boat, and other boats were with him.

37. And a great wind storm occurred, and the waves broke over the boat, so that the boat was being filled.

38. And he was in the stern of the boat, sleeping on a pillow. And they woke him and said to him, "Teacher, does it not concern you that we are perishing?"

39. And rising up, he rebuked the wind, and he said to the sea: "Silence. Be stilled." And the wind ceased. And a great tranquility occurred.

40. And he said to them: "Why are you afraid? Do you still lack faith?" And they were struck with a great fear. And they said to one another, "Who do you think this is, that both wind and sea obey him?"
