Matthew 8:16-25 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

16. When evening came, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed; and He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were ill.

17. This was to fulfill what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet: "He Himself took our infirmities and carried away our diseases."

18. Now when Jesus saw a crowd around Him, He gave orders to depart to the other side of the sea.

19. Then a scribe came and said to Him, "Teacher, I will follow You wherever You go."

20. Jesus said to him, "The foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head."

21. Another of the 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 own dead."

23. When He got into the boat, His disciples followed Him.

24. And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being covered with the waves; but Jesus Himself was asleep.

25. And they came to Him and woke Him, saying, "Save us, Lord; we are perishing!"
