Matthew 8:19-29

19 And a scribe approached, and said to him [+And a scribe nighing/coming to, said to him], Master, I shall follow thee, whither ever thou shalt go.
20 And Jesus said to him, Foxes have dens, and birds of the air have nests, but man's Son hath not wherein to rest his head. [And Jesus said to him, Foxes have burrows, or dens, and birds of the air have nests, but man's Son hath not where he shall rest his head.]
21 [Soothly] Another of his disciples said to him, Lord, suffer me to go first, and bury my father.
22 But Jesus said to him, Follow thou me, and let the dead men bury their dead men.
23 And when he was gone up into a little ship, his disciples followed him.
24 And lo! a great stirring was made in the sea, so that the ship was covered with waves; but he slept.
25 And his disciples came to him, and raised him, and said [And his disciples came nigh to him, and raised him, saying], Lord, save us; we perish.
26 And Jesus said to them, What be ye of little faith aghast [+And Jesus saith to them, What be ye of little faith afeared]? Then he rose [up], and commanded to the winds and the sea, and a great peaceableness was made.
27 And men wondered, and said [saying], What manner man is this, for the winds and the sea obey to him?
28 And when he was come over the water into the country of men of Gergesenes, two men met him, that had devils, and came out of graves, full mad, so that no man might go by that way. [+And when he had come over the water into the country of men of Gergesenes, two men having devils ran to him, going out from burials, full fierce, so that no man might pass by that way.]
29 And lo! they cried, and said [saying], What to us and to thee, Jesus, the Son of God? art thou come hither before the time to torment us?
