Mattityahu 8:20-27 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

20. And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to him, Foxes have holes and the OPH HASHOMAYIM (birds of heaven, IYOV 35:11) have nests, but the Ben HaAdam [Moshiach, DANIEL 7:13-14] does not have a place where he may lay his head.

21. And another of Moshiach's talmidim said to him, Adoneinu, allow me first to go and bury my father.

22. But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to him, Follow me, and permit the mesim (spiritually dead ones without hitkhadshut, spiritually unregenerate ones) to bury their own mesim (deceased ones, niftarim).

23. And when he embarked into the sirah, Moshiach's talmidim followed him.

24. And hinei! a great storm came up on the lake, so that the sirah (boat) was about to be covered by the waves. But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was sleeping.

25. And Moshiach's talmidim approached and woke him, saying, Adoneinu, hoshieinu! We are perishing!

26. And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to them, Why are you fearful, you ones of little emunah? Then, arising, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach rebuked the winds and the sea. And there was a great calm.

27. And the men were astonished, saying, What sort of man is this!? That even the winds and the sea obey him!
