Luke 8:16-25

“No one after lighting a lamp covers it with a bowl or hides it under a bed. Instead, the person puts it on a lampstand so those who come in will see the light. Everything that is hidden will become clear, and every secret thing will be made known. So be careful how you listen. Those who have understanding will be given more. But those who do not have understanding, even what they think they have will be taken away from them.” Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see him, but there was such a crowd they could not get to him. Someone said to Jesus, “Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you.” Jesus answered them, “My mother and my brothers are those who listen to God’s teaching and obey it!” One day Jesus and his followers got into a boat, and he said to them, “Let’s go across the lake.” And so they started across. While they were sailing, Jesus fell asleep. A very strong wind blew up on the lake, causing the boat to fill with water, and they were in danger. The followers went to Jesus and woke him, saying, “Master! Master! We will drown!” Jesus got up and gave a command to the wind and the waves. They stopped, and it became calm. Jesus said to his followers, “Where is your faith?” The followers were afraid and amazed and said to each other, “Who is this that commands even the wind and the water, and they obey him?”
