Matthew 8:23

21 Another of His disciples requested, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”

22 But Jesus told him, “Follow Me, and let the dead bury their own dead.”

When He got into the boat, His disciples followed Him.

24 Suddenly a violent storm came up on the sea, so that the boat was engulfed by the waves; but Jesus was sleeping.

25 The disciples went and woke Him, saying, “Lord, save us! We are perishing!”
