Jesus teaches the crowds in parables. The sower scatters seed on four kinds of soil, picturing the varied responses to the word; the lamp is meant to give light; the growing seed shows the kingdom’s mysterious growth; and the mustard seed shows its small beginning and great end. That evening, crossing the sea, a great storm arises while Jesus sleeps; He rebukes the wind and waves, and they grow calm, leaving the disciples awestruck: “Who then is this, that even wind and sea obey him?”
