1The next time Jesus taught beside Lake Galilee, a big crowd gathered. It was so large that he had to sit in a boat out on the lake, while the people stood on the shore.[#Lk 5.1-3.]
2He used stories to teach them many things, and this is part of what he taught:
9Then Jesus said, “If you have ears, pay attention.”
10When Jesus was alone with the twelve apostles and some others, they asked him about these stories.
11He answered:
“These people will look
and look, but never see.
They will listen and listen,
but never understand.
If they did,
they would turn to God
and be forgiven.”
13Jesus then told them:
21Jesus also said:[#Mt 5.15; Lk 11.33.]
26Again Jesus said:
30Finally, Jesus said:
33Jesus used many other stories when he spoke to the people, and he taught them as much as they could understand.
34He did not tell them anything without using stories. But when he was alone with his disciples, he explained everything to them.
35That evening, Jesus said to his disciples, “Let's cross to the east side.”
36So they left the crowd, and his disciples started across the lake with him in the boat. Some other boats followed along.
37Suddenly a storm struck the lake. Waves started splashing into the boat, and it was about to sink.
38Jesus was in the back of the boat with his head on a pillow, and he was asleep. His disciples woke him and said, “Teacher, don't you care that we're about to drown?”
39Jesus got up and ordered the wind and the waves to be quiet. The wind stopped, and everything was calm.
40Jesus asked his disciples, “Why were you afraid? Don't you have any faith?”
41Now they were more afraid than ever and said to each other, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!”
