| 4:34 | & without parables spake he nothinge vnto them: but vnto his disciples he expounded all thinges pryuately. |
| 4:35 | And the same daye at euen he sayde vnto them: let us passe ouer. |
| 4:36 | And they let the people go, and toke him as he was in the shippe, and there were mo shippes with him. |
| 4:37 | And there arose a greate storme of wynde, and dasshed the wawes in to the shippe, so that the shippe was full. |
| 4:38 | And he was behynde in the shippe and slepte vpon a pelowe. And they awoke him & sayde vnto him: Master, Carest thou not, that we perishe? |
| 4:39 | And he arose, and rebuked ye wynde, and sayde vnto the see: Peace, and be styll, And the wynde was layed, & there folowed a greate calme. |
| 4:40 | And he sayde vnto them: Why are ye so fearfull? How is it, that ye haue no faith? |
