Matthew 8:18-27

18One day, Jesus saw a large crowd of people around him. So he told his disciples, ‘We should go across the lake to the other side.’

19A teacher of God's Law came to Jesus and said to him, ‘Teacher, I will go with you everywhere that you go.’

20Jesus replied, ‘Wild animals and birds have their own places to live. But I, the Son of Man, have no place of my own to lie down and rest.’

21Another man who was one of Jesus' disciples said to him, ‘Sir, I want to come with you. But first, let me go home and bury my father. Then I will come with you.’

22Jesus said to him, ‘No! You must come with me now. Let those people who are dead themselves bury their own dead people.’

23Then Jesus got into a boat. His disciples also went with him.

24Immediately a great storm began to blow across the lake. Water began to go into the boat and fill it. Jesus was sleeping.

25The disciples went to him and they woke him. ‘Master, save us!’ they said. ‘We will die here in the water!’

26Jesus said to them, ‘You should not be so afraid. You should trust me more than you do!’ Then he stood up and he spoke strongly to the wind and the water. ‘Stop!’ he said. Then the wind and the water became quiet again.

27The disciples were very surprised. They asked each other, ‘What kind of man is this? Even the wind and the water obey him!’
