Dhoruba ilipotokea, na kusababisha upepo na mawimbi kuitupa mashua yao kote, ndipo Bwana alipoonekana. Walipokuwa katikati ya dhoruba, Bwana Yesu alikuwa juu mlimani akiomba! Hii ni picha yake kama Kuhani wetu Mkuu, ambaye anaishi milele kutuombea! Lakini ilikuwa wakati huu, katikati ya dhoruba, ndipo Bwana alijifunua. Aliwatokea wakati wa giza lao kuu na kusema, \u201cNi mimi; msiogope.\u201d Hii ni kauli yenye nguvu!
