Mark 4: 30-24 and 35-41

Again He said,
"What shall we say the kingdom of God is like,
or what parable shall we use to describe it?
It is like a mustard seed,
which is the smallest seed you plant in the ground.
Yet when planted,
it grows and becomes the largest of all garden plants,
with such big branches
that the birds of the air can perch in its shade."
With many similar parables
Jesus spoke the word to them,
as much as they could understand.
He did not say anything to them without using a parable.
But when He was alone with His own disciples,
He explained everything.
(Mark 4:30-24) NIV

That day when evening came,
He said to His disciples,
"Let us go over to the other side,"
Leaving the crowd behind,
they took Him along,
just as He was,
in the boat.
There were also other boats with Him.
A furious squall came up,
and the waves broke over the boat,
so that it was nearly swamped.
Jesus was in the stern,
sleeping on a cushion.
The disciples woke Him and said to Him,
"Teacher, don't you care if we drown?"
He got up,
rebuked the wind
and said to the waves,
"Quiet!  Be still!"
Then the wind died down
and it was completely calm.
He said to His disciples,
"Why are you so afraid?
Do you still have no faith?"
There were terrified and asked each other,
"Who is this?  Even the wind and the waves obey Him!"
(Mark 4:35-41) NIV
