13. Jesus said to the centurion, "Go; it will be done for you just as you have believed." And his servant was healed that very moment.
14. Jesus went home with Peter and saw Peter’s mother-in-law lying in bed with a fever.
15. He touched her hand, and the fever left her. Then she got up and served them.
16. That evening people brought to Jesus many who were demon-possessed. He threw the spirits out with just a word. He healed everyone who was sick.
17. This happened so that what Isaiah the prophet said would be fulfilled: He is the one who took our illnesses and carried away our diseases.
18. Now when Jesus saw the crowd, he ordered his disciples to go over to the other side of the lake.
19. A legal expert came and said to him, "Teacher, I’ll follow you wherever you go."
20. Jesus replied, "Foxes have dens, and the birds in the sky have nests, but the Human One has no place to lay his head."
21. Another man, one of his disciples, said to him, "Lord, first let me go and bury my father."
22. But Jesus said to him, "Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead."
23. When Jesus got into a boat, his disciples followed him.
24. A huge storm arose on the lake so that waves were sloshing over the boat. But Jesus was asleep.
25. They came and woke him, saying, "Lord, rescue us! We’re going to drown!"
26. He said to them, "Why are you afraid, you people of weak faith?" Then he got up and gave orders to the winds and the lake, and there was a great calm.
27. The people were amazed and said, "What kind of person is this? Even the winds and the lake obey him!"
