20. Jesus replied, "Foxes have holes. Birds of the air have nests. But the Son of Man has no place to lay his head."
21. Another follower said to him, "Lord, first let me go and bury my father."
22. But Jesus told him, "Follow me. Let the dead bury their own dead."
23. Jesus got into a boat. His disciples followed him.
24. Suddenly a terrible storm came up on the lake. The waves crashed over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping.
25. The disciples went and woke him up. They said, "Lord! Save us! We're going to drown!"
26. He replied, "Your faith is so small! Why are you so afraid?" Then Jesus got up and ordered the winds and the waves to stop. It became completely calm.
27. The disciples were amazed. They asked, "What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him!"
28. Jesus arrived at the other side of the lake in the area of the Gadarenes. Two men controlled by demons met him. They came from the tombs. The men were so wild that no one could pass that way.
29. "Son of God, what do you want with us?" they shouted. "Have you come here to punish us before the time for us to be judged?"
30. Not very far away, a large herd of pigs was feeding.
31. The demons begged Jesus, "If you drive us out, send us into the herd of pigs."
32. Jesus said to them, "Go!" So the demons came out of the men and went into the pigs. The whole herd rushed down the steep bank. They ran into the lake and drowned in the water.
33. Those who were tending the pigs ran off. They went into the town and reported all this. They told the people what had happened to the men who had been controlled by demons.
