    11Then said they to him, "What shall we do to you, that the sea may be calm to us?" For the sea grew more and more tempestuous.

    12He said to them, "Take me up, and throw me into the sea. Then the sea will be calm for you; for I know that because of me this great tempest is on you."

    13Nevertheless the men rowed hard to get them back to the land; but they could not, for the sea grew more and more tempestuous against them.
