"got onto a boat"
# his disciples followed him
Try to use the same words for "disciple" and "follow" that you used in ([Matthew 8:21-22](./21.md)).

# woke him up, saying, "Save us
Possible meanings are 1) they first woke Jesus and then they said, "Save us" or 2) as they were waking Jesus up, they were saying "Save us."
# us ... we
If you need to translate these words as inclusive or exclusive, then inclusive is best. The disciples probably meant they wanted Jesus to save the disciples and himself from drowning. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-inclusive]])
# we are about to die
"we are going to die"
