19. Then a teacher of the law came to him. He said, "Teacher, I will follow you no matter where you go."
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."

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.
