Matthew 8:18–27
18 Now when Jesus saw a crowd around Him, aHe gave orders to depart to the other side of the sea.
19 aThen a scribe came and said to Him, “Teacher, I will follow You wherever You go.”
20 Jesus * said to him, “The foxes have holes and the birds of the 1air have 2nests, but athe Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.”
21 Another of the disciples said to Him, “Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father.”
22 But Jesus * said to him, “aFollow Me, and allow the dead to bury their own dead.”
23 aWhen He got into the boat, His disciples followed Him.
24 And behold, there arose 1a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being covered with the waves; but Jesus Himself was asleep.
25 And they came to Him and woke Him, saying, “aSave us, Lord; we are perishing!”
26 He * said to them, “Why are you 1afraid, ayou men of little faith?” Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and 2it became perfectly calm.
27 The men were amazed, and said, “What kind of a man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?”
