Matthew 8:19-27

19And a scribe came up and said to him, "Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go."

20And Jesus said to him, "Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head."

21Another of the disciples said to him, "Lord, let me first go and bury my father."

22And Jesus said to him, "Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead."

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

24And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by the waves; but he was asleep.

25And they went and woke him, saying, "Save us, Lord; we are perishing."

26And he said to them, "Why are you afraid, O you of little faith?" Then he rose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm.

27And the men marveled, saying, "What sort of man is this, that even winds and sea obey him?"
