10. Then the men became afraid with an overwhelming fear and they said to him, “What have you done?” For the men knew that he had fled from the presence of Adonai, because he had told them.
11. So they said to him, “What should we do to you so the sea will become calm for us?”—for the storm was raging on.
12. “Pick me up and throw me into the sea,” he said to them, “then the sea will become calm for you. For I know it is because of me that this great storm is upon you.”
13. Nevertheless the men rowed hard to return to the land, but they could not, because the sea kept raging against them.
