23Some went down to the sea in ships, doing business on the great waters; 24they saw the deeds of the LORD, his wondrous works in the deep. 25For he commanded and raised the stormy wind, which lifted up the waves of the sea. 26They mounted up to heaven; they went down to the depths; their courage melted away in their evil plight; 27they reeled and staggered like drunken men and were at their wits’ end. 28Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress. 29He made the storm be still, and the waves of the sea were hushed. 30Then they were glad that the waters were quiet, and he brought them to their desired haven.

  1. The calming of the storm echoes Psalms 107:23-30

    Strong allusion or echoMedium confidence

    The 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.
