And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.

But Jesus said unto him, ‹Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.›

And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him.

And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep.

And his disciples came to [him], and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish.
