15. And he touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she rose up and ministered to them.

16. And when evening arrived, they brought to him many who had demons, and he cast out the spirits with a word. And he healed all those having maladies,

17. in order to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah, saying, "He took our infirmities, and he carried away our diseases."

18. Then Jesus, seeing the great crowds encircling him, gave orders to go across the sea.

19. And one scribe, approaching, said to him, "Teacher, I will follow you wherever you will go."

20. And Jesus said to him, "Foxes have dens, and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of man has nowhere to rest his head."

21. Then another of his disciples said to him, "Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father."

22. But Jesus said to him, "Follow me, and allow the dead to bury their dead."

23. And climbing into a boat, his disciples followed him.

24. And behold, a great tempest occurred in the sea, so much so that the boat was covered with waves; yet truly, he was sleeping.

25. And his disciples drew near to him, and they awakened him, saying: "Lord, save us, we are perishing."

26. And Jesus said to them, "Why are you afraid, O little in faith?" Then rising up, he commanded the winds, and the sea. And a great tranquility occurred.
