Matthew 8:20-30

20 Jesus said to him, "The foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, but 1the Son of Man has nowhere * to lay His head."
21 Another of the disciples said to Him, "Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father."
22 But Jesus said to him, "2Follow Me, and allow the dead to bury their own dead."
23 3When He got into the boat, His disciples followed Him.
24 And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being covered with the waves; but Jesus Himself was asleep.
25 And they came to Him and woke Him, saying, "4Save us, Lord; we are perishing!"
26 He said to them, "Why are you afraid, 5you men of little faith?" Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and it became perfectly calm.
27 The men were amazed, and said, "What kind of a man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?"

Jesus Casts Out Demons

28 6When He came to the other side into the country of the Gadarenes, two men who were 7demon-possessed met Him as they were coming out of the tombs. They were so extremely violent that no one could pass by that way.
29 And they cried out, saying, "8What business do we have with each other, Son of God? Have You come here to torment us before the time?"
30 Now there was a herd of many swine feeding at a distance from them.
