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."
Calming a storm
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!"
Jesus frees demon-possessed men
28 When Jesus arrived on the other side of the lake in the country of the Gadarenes, two men who were demon-possessed came from among the tombs to meet him. They were so violent that nobody could travel on that road.
29
They cried out, "What are you going to do with us, Son of God? Have you come to torture us before the time of judgment?"
