17
This was done to fulfill what had been spoken through the prophet Yesha`yahu, "He himself took our weaknesses and bore our diseases"
18
When Yeshua saw the crowd around him, he gave orders to cross to the other side of the lake.
19
A Torah-teacher approached and said to him, "Rabbi, I will follow you wherever you go."
20
Yeshua said to him, "The foxes have holes, and the birds flying about have nests, but the Son of Man has no home of his own."
21
Another of the talmidim said to him, "Sir, first let me go and bury my father."
22
But Yeshua replied, "Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead."
23
He boarded the boat, and his talmidim followed.
24
Then, without warning, a furious storm arose on the lake, so that waves were sweeping over the boat. But Yeshua was sleeping.
25
So they came and roused him, saying, "Sir! Help! We're about to die!"
26
He said to them, "Why are you afraid? So little trust you have!" Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and there was a dead calm.
27
The men were astounded. They asked, "What kind of man is this, that even the winds and sea obey him?"
