Matthew 8:22 In-Context

20 Jesus answered him, "Foxes have holes, and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lie down and rest."
21 Another man, who was a disciple, said, "Sir, first let me go back and bury my father."
22 "Follow me," Jesus answered, "and let the dead bury their own dead."
23 Jesus got into a boat, and his disciples went with him.
24 Suddenly a fierce storm hit the lake, and the boat was in danger of sinking. But Jesus was asleep.
