Jesus replied, "Foxes have holes. Birds of the air have nests. But the Son of Man has no place to lay his head."

Another follower said to him, "Lord, first let me go and bury my father."

But Jesus told him, "Follow me. Let the dead bury their own dead."
Jesus Calms the Storm
23 Jesus got into a boat. His disciples followed him.
24
Suddenly a terrible storm came up on the lake. The waves crashed over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping.
25
The disciples went and woke him up. They said, "Lord! Save us! We're going to drown!"
26
He replied, "Your faith is so small! Why are you so afraid?" Then Jesus got up and ordered the winds and the waves to stop. It became completely calm.
27
The disciples were amazed. They asked, "What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him!"
