And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.
So they rushed over and shook him awake, shouting, 'Master, master, we're all about to die!' Jesus got up and basically told the wind and the wild waves to chill out, and just like that, everything went completely still.
Even the weather listens when Jesus speaks up.
