9 He said to them, 'I am a Hebrew, and I fear Yahweh, the God of heaven, who has made the sea and the dry land.'
10 Then were the men exceedingly afraid, and said to him, 'What is this that you have done?' For the men knew that he was fleeing from the presence of Yahweh, because he had told them.
11 Then 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.
12 He 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.'
13 Nevertheless 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.
