Why was Jesus asleep during the storm? In the Bible, it is said that Jesus was asleep in the boat during the storm.  What is the reason?
Psalm 107:23-29 (DRB)
They that go down to the sea in ships, doing business in the great waters: 24 These have seen the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep. 25 He said the word, and there arose a storm of wind: and the waves thereof were lifted up. 26 They mount up to the heavens, and they go down to the depths: their soul pined away with evils. 27 They were troubled, and reeled like a drunken man; and all their wisdom was swallowed up. 28 And they cried to the Lord in their affliction: and he brought them out of their distresses. 29 And he turned the storm into a breeze: and its waves were still.

Here in the Psalms, God is portrayed as testing His redeemed, by willing there to rise a storm and that they would cry out to Him. I see nothing else here in Matthew 8 than this. We would be 'slow of heart' not to see the intended parallel:
(Ps. 107:25-28)

&quot;there arose a storm of wind: and the waves thereof were lifted up.
They mount up to the heavens, and they go down to the depths: their
soul pined away with evils.&quot;

(Mk. 4:37-38)

&quot;And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the
ship, so that the ship was filled. 38 And he was in the hinder part of
the ship, sleeping upon a pillow; and they awake him, and say to him:
Master, doth it not concern thee that we perish?;&quot;

(Ps. 107:28-29)

&quot;and he brought them out of their distresses. 29 And he turned the
storm into a breeze: and its waves were still;&quot;

(Mk. 4:39)

&quot;And rising up, he rebuked the wind, and said to the sea: Peace, be
still. And the wind ceased: and there was made a great calm.&quot;
