Luke 8:23 in Context — Luke 8

21 El entonces respondiendo, les dijo: Mi madre y mis hermanos son los que oyen la palabra de Dios, y la ejecutan.

22 Y aconteció un día [que] él entró en un barco con sus discípulos, y les dijo: Pasemos á la otra parte del lago. Y partieron.

23 Pero mientras ellos navegaban, él se durmió. Y sobrevino una tempestad de viento en el lago; y henchían [de agua], y peligraban.

24 Y llegándose á él, le despertaron, diciendo: ¡Maestro, Maestro, que perecemos! Y despertado él, increpó al viento y á la tempestad del agua; y cesaron, y fué hecha bonanza.

25 Y les dijo: ¿Qué es de vuestra fe? Y atemorizados, se maravillaban, diciendo los unos á los otros: ¿Quién es éste, que aun á los vientos y al agua manda, y le obedecen?
