according to Mark - 23


Pericope 28 - a pass-over of sorts "...to the other side" (which way?)



And eve'ning having come on that day, he
says to them "Let's pass over t'other side."
The crowd dismissed, he's in the boat, we see
them take him with them; other boats too ride!


And comes enormous wind-storm which erupts,
with waves abreaking over into boat 
so that already boat is filling up.
The calm in him makes it look like he floats


as he sleeps on the tiller's seat, with head
on leather cushioned bit, & others they
arouse him, and they say to him, "We're dead!"
And "Teacher, don't you care that it's that way?"


And having been aroused he then rebuked
the wind, and said to sea: "Silence. Be still!"
The wind fell back and stopped, like it was spooked.
Enormous calm ensued, that is untill


he said to them, "Why are you fe-ar-full?
Do you still have no faith? Has it not grown?
Enormous fears rose up within them all,
as they were asking "What have we been shown?"


then saying to each other "Who is this?
-  that wind and sea obey him? What's the deal?
This storm that blew within them brought a mist
that took a while to dissipate - I feel.



35Καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ὀψίας γενομένης· διέλθωμεν εἰς τὸ πέραν. 36καὶ ἀφέντες τὸν ὄχλον παραλαμβάνουσιν αὐτὸν ὡς ἦν ἐν τῷ πλοίῳ, καὶ ἄλλα πλοῖα ἦν μετ’ αὐτοῦ. 37καὶ γίνεται λαῖλαψ μεγάλη ἀνέμου καὶ τὰ κύματα ἐπέβαλλεν εἰς τὸ πλοῖον, ὥστε ἤδη γεμίζεσθαι τὸ πλοῖον. 38 καὶ αὐτὸς ἦν ἐν τῇ πρύμνῃ ἐπὶ τὸ προσκεφάλαιον καθεύδων. καὶ ἐγείρουσιν αὐτὸν καὶ λέγουσιν αὐτῷ· διδάσκαλε, οὐ μέλει σοι ὅτι ἀπολλύμεθα; 39 καὶ διεγερθεὶς ἐπετίμησεν τῷ ἀνέμῳ καὶ εἶπεν τῇ θαλάσσῃ· σιώπα, πεφίμωσο. καὶ ἐκόπασεν ὁ ἄνεμος καὶ ἐγένετο γαλήνη μεγάλη. 40 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· τί δειλοί ἐστε; οὔπω ἔχετε πίστιν; 41καὶ ἐφοβήθησαν φόβον μέγαν καὶ ἔλεγον πρὸς ἀλλήλους· τίς ἄρα οὗτός ἐστιν ὅτι καὶ ὁ ἄνεμος καὶ ἡ θάλασσα ὑπακούει αὐτῷ; Mark 4:35-41 NA28
