Matthew 8:14-27
View Full ChapterJesus Heals Many 14When Jesus came into Peter’s house, he saw Peter’s mother-in-law lying in bed with a fever.
15He touched her hand and the fever left her, and she got up and began to wait on him. 16When evening came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to him, and he drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick.
17This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah: “He took up our infirmities and bore our diseases.”

19Then a teacher of the law came to him and said, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.”
20Jesus replied,
21Another disciple said to him, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”
22But Jesus told him,
Jesus Calms the Storm 23Then he got into the boat and his disciples followed him. 24Suddenly a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping.
25The disciples went and woke him, saying, “Lord, save us! We’re going to drown!”
26He replied,
27The men were amazed and asked, “What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him!”
