Eyewitness Matthew does not quote any statement at this moment by Jesus, and neither does the careful historian Luke.  Only some translations of Mark, who was not on the boat, quotes Jesus.  But those translations of Mark are incorrect because Jesus's spoken words, if any, would have been in [[Aramaic]] in this context, not in Greek, so the Greek wording cannot plausibly represent an actual quotation.  Compare the respected modern translations of this passage for each Gospel:
