Luke 8:23 in Context — Luke 8

21 Mais il répondit: Ma mère et mes frères, ce sont ceux qui écoutent la parole de Dieu, et qui la mettent en pratique.

22 Un jour, Jésus monta dans une barque avec ses disciples. Il leur dit: Passons de l’autre côté du lac. Et ils partirent.

23 Pendant qu’ils naviguaient, Jésus s’endormit. Un tourbillon fondit sur le lac, la barque se remplissait d’eau, et ils étaient en péril.

24 Ils s’approchèrent et le réveillèrent, en disant: Maître, maître, nous périssons! S’étant réveillé, il menaça le vent et les flots, qui s’apaisèrent, et le calme revint.

25 Puis il leur dit: Où est votre foi? Saisis de frayeur et d’étonnement, ils se dirent les uns aux autres: Quel est donc celui-ci, qui commande même au vent et à l’eau, et à qui ils obéissent?
