‘Master, carest Thou not that We perish?'

‘And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it. But without a parable spake he not unto them; and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.'

'And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, "Let us pass over to the other side." And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships. And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow; and they awake him, and say unto him, "Master, carest thou not that we perish?" And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, "Peace, be still." And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. And he said unto them, "Why are ye so fearful? how is it that you have no faith?" And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, "What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?" '(Mark 4:33-41 KJV)

Their fear of the storm was exceeded by their amazement as to 'what manner of man' commands the storm, and it obeys. There are always going to be opportunities to fear circumstances, but in the storm these called out to the Master! He quelled the storm, and the fear of their demise, with supernatural power. Now they had another testimony with which to follow!
