Matthew 8:19-34 (New Living Translation)
19Then one of the teachers of religious law said to him, "Teacher, I will follow you no matter where you go!"
20But Jesus said, "Foxes have dens to live in, and birds have nests, but I, the Son of Man, have no home of my own, not even a place to lay my head."
21Another of his disciples said, "Lord, first let me return home and bury my father."
22But Jesus told him, "Follow me now! Let those who are spiritually dead care for their own dead."[a]
Jesus Calms the Storm
23Then Jesus got into the boat and started across the lake with his disciples. 24Suddenly, a terrible storm came up, with waves breaking into the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. 25The disciples went to him and woke him up, shouting, "Lord, save us! We're going to drown!"
26And Jesus answered, "Why are you afraid? You have so little faith!" Then he stood up and rebuked the wind and waves, and suddenly all was calm. 27The disciples just sat there in awe. "Who is this?" they asked themselves. "Even the wind and waves obey him!"
Jesus Heals Two Demon-Possessed Men
28When Jesus arrived on the other side of the lake in the land of the Gadarenes,[b] two men who were possessed by demons met him. They lived in a cemetery and were so dangerous that no one could go through that area. 29They began screaming at him, "Why are you bothering us, Son of God? You have no right to torture us before God's appointed time!" 30A large herd of pigs was feeding in the distance, 31so the demons begged, "If you cast us out, send us into that herd of pigs."
32"All right, go!" Jesus commanded them. So the demons came out of the men and entered the pigs, and the whole herd plunged down the steep hillside into the lake and drowned in the water. 33The herdsmen fled to the nearby city, telling everyone what happened to the demon-possessed men. 34The entire town came out to meet Jesus, but they begged him to go away and leave them alone.
