Then Jesus got into the boat and started across the lake with his disciples. Suddenly, a fierce storm struck the lake, with waves breaking into the boat. The disciples went and woke him up, shouting, Lord save us!
We're going to drown! Jesus responded, Why are you afraid?
You have so little faith! Then he got up and rebuked the wind and waves, and suddenly all was calm.
They asked, "Even the winds and waves obey him"! Obverse: Features the Raphael Maklouf likeness of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II surrounded by the weight, purity and face value.
