Matthew 8:19-30
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 8
19Then a scribe came and said to Him, 'Teacher, I will follow You wherever You go.' 20And Jesus *said to him, 'The foxes have holes and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.' 21And another of the disciples said to Him, 'Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.' 22But Jesus *said to him, 'Follow Me, and let the dead bury their own dead.'
23When He got into the boat, His disciples followed Him.
24And behold, a violent storm developed on the sea, so that the boat was being covered by the waves; but Jesus Himself was asleep.
25And they came to Him and woke Him, saying, 'Save us, Lord; we are perishing!'
26He *said to them, 'Why are you afraid, you men of little faith?' Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and it became perfectly calm.
27The men were amazed, and said, 'What kind of a man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?'
28And when He came to the other side into the country of the Gadarenes, two demon-possessed men confronted Him as they were coming out of the tombs. They were so extremely violent that no one could pass by that way.
29And they cried out, saying, 'What business do You have with us, Son of God? Have You come here to torment us before the time?'
30Now there was a herd of many pigs feeding at a distance from them.

26And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.
