Matthew 8:18-28

18 When Jesus noticed the crowd around him, he ordered his disciples to go to the other side of the lake.
19 A teacher of the Law came to him. "Teacher," he said, "I am ready to go with you wherever you go."
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." 1
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.
25 The disciples went to him and woke him up. "Save us, Lord!" they said. "We are about to die!"
26 "Why are you so frightened?" Jesus answered. "What little faith you have!" Then he got up and ordered the winds and the waves to stop, and there was a great calm.
27 Everyone was amazed. "What kind of man is this?" they said. "Even the winds and the waves obey him!"
28 When Jesus came to the territory of Gadara on the other side of the lake, he was met by two men who came out of the burial caves there. These men had demons in them and were so fierce that no one dared travel on that road.
