Explore this passage in the graph23Some went out on the sea in ships; they were merchants on the mighty waters. 24They saw the works of the Lord, his wonderful deeds in the deep. 25For he spoke and stirred up a tempest that lifted high the waves. 26They mounted up to the heavens and went down to the depths; in their peril their courage melted away. 27They reeled and staggered like drunkards; they were at their wits’ end. 28Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble, and he brought them out of their distress. 29He stilled the storm to a whisper; the waves of the sea were hushed. 30They were glad when it grew calm, and he guided them to their desired haven.

The calming of the storm echoes Psalms 107:23-30
Strong allusion or echoMedium confidenceThe psalm describes sailors crying to the Lord in a storm and the Lord stilling it to a whisper; the disciples' cry and Jesus's word to the sea follow that pattern, and their question about who He is points the same way.
Evidence:Other responsible views
- A general Old Testament theme: The power to still the sea belongs to God in many passages (Psalm 65:7, 89:9, Job 38:8-11); Psalm 107 is the closest in shape but not the only background.
