New Living Translation

Matthew 8:16-21 New Living Translation (NLT)

16. That evening many demon-possessed people were brought to Jesus. He cast out the evil spirits with a simple command, and he healed all the sick.

17. This fulfilled the word of the Lord through the prophet Isaiah, who said,“He took our sicknessesand removed our diseases.”

18. When Jesus saw the crowd around him, he instructed his disciples to cross to the other side of the lake.

19. Then one of the teachers of religious law said to him, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.”

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

21. Another of his disciples said, “Lord, first let me return home and bury my father.”
