Matthew 8:18-27

18Now, when Jesus saw a crowd around him, he ordered ⌞his disciples⌟ to cross to the other side of the Sea of Galilee.

19An expert in Moses’ Teachings came to him and said, “Teacher, I’ll follow you wherever you go.”

20Jesus told him, “Foxes have holes, and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to sleep.”

21Another disciple said to him, “Sir, first let me go to bury my father.”

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

23Jesus’ disciples went with him as he left in a boat.

24Suddenly, a severe storm came across the sea. The waves were covering the boat. Yet, Jesus was sleeping.

25So they woke him up, saying, “Lord! Save us! We’re going to die!”

26Jesus said to them, “Why do you cowards have so little faith?” Then he got up, gave an order to the wind and the sea, and the sea became very calm.

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