It was evening. Jesus decided to go in the boat to the other side of the Sea of Galilee.
There was a great storm, and the waves were even coming into the boat. Jesus was in the back of the boat asleep. The disciples woke him and said: "Teacher, don't you care that we are going to die?"
Jesus rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, "Peace! Be still!" The wind stopped, and the sea was dead calm. Jesus said to the disciples, "Why are you afraid? Haven't you got any faith in me?"
The disciples were amazed and said: "Who is this, then - even the wind and sea obey him?"

The Healing of the Paralytic
Jesus came back to Capernaum. People found out he was at home. A great crowd gathered around the house. There were so many people that no one could get to the door. Some people came, carrying a paralysed man.
They couldn't get to Jesus, so they made a hole in the roof and lowered the man down to Jesus. Jesus was amazed how much they believed in him, so he said to the paralysed man, "Son, your sins are forgiven."
Some of the scribes who were sitting there said to themselves 'This is blasphemy! Only God can forgive sins!' Jesus knew what they were saying to themselves, so he said to them: 'Which is it easiest to say "Your sins are forgiven" or "Take up your mat and walk" Jesus went on: 'So to prove that the Son of Man has authority to forgive sins' he said to the paralysed man 'Take up your bed and walk'.
The man picked up his mat and walked in front
of them. Everyone said: 'This is amazing. We've never seen
anything like this before.'
