New International Version

Matthew 8:17-24 New International Version (NIV)

17. This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah: “He took up our infirmities and bore our diseases.”

18. When Jesus saw the crowd around him, he gave orders to cross to the other side of the lake.

19. Then a teacher of the law came to him and said, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.”

20. Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.”

21. Another disciple said to him, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”

22. But Jesus told him, “Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead.”

23. Then he got into the boat and his disciples followed him.

24. Suddenly a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping.
