Peter, look at this huge crowd here by the Sea of Galilee.
It is smothering Jesus!

Peter

He is going to do something about that, John. Listen!

Voice

Peter and John, bring your boat.
We will go to the other side of the sea.

John

All twelve of us disciples get into the boat with Jesus.

Prompter & Echoes

Row men, Row!

Peter

Look, John! An ugly storm is coming our way!

Prompter & Echoes

It’s getting closer!

John

Pull on those oars!

Prompter & Echoes

Row harder!

John

Peter, listen to the wind!

Prompter & Echoes

(Howl)

Peter

Row harder! The storm is upon us!

Prompter & Echoes

Faster!

Peter

Look! The waves are swamping the boat!
We’re
going to drown! Help!

John

Peter, look at Jesus! He sleeping in the stern!

Prompter & Echoes

Asleep!

Peter

I rush to Jesus and waken him.
“Save us, Lord; we are perishing!”

Voice

Why are you afraid, you men of little faith?

John

Jesus stands and rebukes the winds and the sea.
Now it is perfectly calm!

Peter

What kind of a man is this, that even wind and sea obey him?

Prompter & Echoes

Even nature obeys him!
