Mark 4:35-38 -Do you not care about us?

4:35,36
This is one of the best known incidents in Jesus’ time with His disciples. Jesus told His disciples that they should go over to the other side. So they took Jesus “just as he was”, so Jesus was just a passenger. There were several other boats with them.

4:37,38

The Sea of Galilee is well below sea level (212 m), and so was subject to sudden storms. We should also note that some of the disciples were fishermen, so well used to the vagaries of the sea. The waves were nearly swamping the boat. Jesus, however, was fast asleep. Jonah is another man who slept during a storm. The disciples were alarmed, fearing for their lives, and walk up Jesus.
