Mark 4:33-41 ▼

33 With many such parables Jesus spoke the word to them, to the extent that they could understand.

34 He did not tell them anything without using a parable. But privately He explained everything to His own disciples.

35 When that evening came, He said to His disciples, “Let us cross to the other side.

40 “Why are you so afraid? He asked. “Do you still have no faith?
