Matthew 8:19–27
19A scribe came and said to him, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.”↗
20Jesus said to him,“The foxes have holes and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.”↗
21Another of his disciples said to him, “Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.”↗
22But Jesus said to him,“Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead.”↗
23When he got into a boat, his disciples followed him.↗
24Behold, a violent storm came up on the sea, so much that the boat was covered with the waves; but he was asleep.↗
25The disciples came to him and woke him up, saying, “Save us, Lord! We are dying!”↗
26He said to them,“Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?”Then he got up, rebuked the wind and the sea, and there was a great calm.↗
27The men marveled, saying, “What kind of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”↗
