"Their cry arouses Jesus. As the lightning's glare reveals Him, they see the peace of heaven in His face; they read in His glance self-forgetful, tender love, and, their hearts turning to Him, cry, “Lord, save us: we perish.” DA 335.1"
"And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish."
The EGW passage directly quotes and elaborates on the disciples' cry for help in Matthew 8:25.
"Never did a soul utter that cry unheeded. As the disciples grasp their oars to make a last effort, Jesus rises. He stands in the midst of His disciples, while the tempest rages, the waves break over them, and the lightning illuminates His countenance. He lifts His hand, so often employed in deeds of mercy, and says to the angry sea, “Peace, be still.” DA 335.2"
"And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm."
The EGW passage directly alludes to and expands upon Jesus's command to the sea in Mark 4:39.
"The storm ceases. The billows sink to rest. The clouds roll away, and the stars shine forth. The boat rests upon a quiet sea. Then turning to His disciples, Jesus asks sorrowfully, “Why are ye fearful? have ye not yet faith?” Mark 4:40 , R.V. DA 335.3"
"And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?"
Ellen White directly references Mark 4:40 in this passage.
"A hush fell upon the disciples. Even Peter did not attempt to express the awe that filled his heart. The boats that had set out to accompany Jesus had been in the same peril with that of the disciples. Terror and despair had seized their occupants; but the command of Jesus brought quiet to the scene of tumult. The fury of the storm had driven the boats into close proximity, and all on board beheld the miracle. In the calm that followed, fear was forgotten. The people whispered among themselves, “What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?” DA 335.4"
"But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!"
The EGW passage directly quotes and elaborates on the people's reaction to Jesus's power over the wind and sea in Matthew 8:27.
