|This is often mistranslated as [[Jesus]] saying a command, when the more straightforward translation is consistent with [[quantum mechanics]]: it was his observation and [[faith]], not the spoken word, that ended the [[chaos]].  φιμόω: means to be kept in check, not a spoken command.  Note that the similar descriptions in Matthew and Luke do not entail a spoken command.
