The Storm on the Sea of Galilee by Rembrandt, 1632. Calming the storm is one of the miracles of Jesus in the Gospels, reported in Matthew 8:23–27, Mark 4:35–41, and Luke 8:22–25 (the Synoptic Gospels). This episode is distinct from Jesus' walk on water, which also involves a boat on the lake and appears later in the narrative.
These accounts of miracles raise the stakes over miracles which have been reported before. Mark probably intends to demonstrate the greatness of Jesus' authority (ἐξουσíα, exousia). Chapter 4 ends with an account of Jesus calming the storm at sea. He is sleeping while crossing the lake in a boat with his disciples.
Jesus caught him, and commenting on his lack of faith led him back to the ship, whereupon the storm stopped. Matthew also notes that the disciples called Jesus the Son of God . [ 1 ] The fact that the John account also lacks this detail suggests that this account of "St. Peter's venture" [ 6 ] is a redactional addition by Matthew.
The first aria speaks of the "sleeping", illustrated by the recorders, low registers of the strings, and long notes in the voice. Bach used similar means also in the aria Sanfte soll mein Todeskummer of his Easter Oratorio. The third movement almost visualizes the storm and the movement of the waves, similar to scenes in contemporary operas. [5]
The painting depicts the biblical event in which Jesus calmed the storm on the Sea of Galilee, as is described in the fourth chapter of the Gospel of Mark. [1] It is Rembrandt's only seascape.

Jesus preaches in a ship by James Tissot. This narrative is told in Matthew 13:1-3, [1] Mark 4:1, and Luke 5:1-3. [2] Owing to the vast crowds that followed him from the surrounding towns and villages to listen to his doctrine, Jesus retired to the sea coast. There he entered a boat, that he used as a pulpit, and addressed the crowd on the shore.

Mark 13:3 states that only Peter, James, John, and Andrew came to speak with him. [2] Dale Allison divides Jesus' warnings into three groups: the beginning of the woes in the world at large (verses 3-8), the intensification of the woes in the church (verses 9—14), and; the climax of the woes in Judea (verses 15—28).
