Matthew:8:18-27
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And when Jesus saw great crowds around Him ,
He gave orders to depart to the other side .
*
Then a certain scribe approached ,
and said to Him , "
Teacher ,
I will follow You wherever You go ."
*
And Jesus said to him , "
Foxes have dens ,
and birds of the air have nests ,
but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head ."
*
Then another of His disciples said to Him , "
Lord ,
permit me first to go and bury my father ."
*
But Jesus said to him , "
Follow Me ,
and leave the dead to bury their own dead ."
*
Now when He got into a boat ,
His disciples followed Him .
*
And behold ,
a great tempest arose on the sea ,
so that the boat was covered by waves ;
but He was sleeping .
*
Then the disciples came and awoke Him ,
saying , "
Lord ,
save us !
We are perishing !"
*
But He said to them , "
Why are you fearful ,
O [
you ]
of little faith ?"
Then having risen ,
He rebuked the winds and the sea ,
and there was a great calm .
*
So the men marveled ,
saying , "
What kind [
of Man ]
is this ,
that even the winds and the sea obey Him ?"
