Matthew 8:18-27

18When Jesus saw a large crowd around him, he gave the order to go to the other side of the sea.

19A scribe approached him and said, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.”

20Jesus told him, “Foxes have dens, and birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.”

21“Lord,” another of his disciples said, “first let me go bury my father.”

22But Jesus told him, “Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead.”

23As he got into the boat, his disciples followed him.

24Suddenly, a violent storm arose on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by the waves — but Jesus kept sleeping.

25So the disciples came and woke him up, saying, “Lord, save us! We’re going to die!”

26He said to them, “Why are you afraid, you of little faith?” Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm.

27The men were amazed and asked, “What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the sea obey him!”
