New Testament

Matthew 8:18-27 Amplified Bible (AMP)

18. Now Jesus, when He saw the great throngs around Him, gave orders to cross to the other side [of the lake].

19. And a scribe came up and said to Him, Master, I will accompany You wherever You go.

20. And Jesus replied to him, Foxes have holes and the birds of the air have lodging places, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.

21. Another of the disciples said to Him, Lord, let me first go and bury [care for till death] my father.

22. But Jesus said to him, Follow Me, and leave the dead [in sin] to bury their own dead.

23. And after He got into the boat, His disciples followed Him.

24. And suddenly, behold, there arose a violent storm on the sea, so that the boat was being covered up by the waves; but He was sleeping.

25. And they went and awakened Him, saying, Lord, rescue and preserve us! We are perishing!

26. And He said to them, Why are you timid and afraid, O you of little faith? Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great and wonderful calm (a perfect peaceableness).

27. And the men were stunned with bewildered wonder and marveled, saying, What kind of Man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him!
