What is shown in this coloring page?

This scene is based on the accounts in Matthew 8:23-27, Mark 4:35-41, and Luke 8:22-25. Jesus and His disciples were crossing the Sea of Galilee when a furious storm arose, terrifying the experienced fishermen. While the disciples feared for their lives, Jesus was asleep in the boat. They woke Him, crying, "Lord, save us! We are perishing!" Jesus rebuked the wind and the waves, saying, "Peace! Be still!" Immediately, the storm ceased, and there was a great calm. He then gently questioned their faith. The disciples were left in awe, marveling at the one whom even the wind and waves obey.
