Matthew 8:14-22

Jesus went to the home of Peter, where he found that Peter's mother-in-law was sick in bed with fever. He took her by the hand, and the fever left her. Then she got up and served Jesus a meal. That evening many people with demons in them were brought to Jesus. And with only a word he forced out the evil spirits and healed everyone who was sick. So God's promise came true, just as the prophet Isaiah had said, “He healed our diseases and made us well.” When Jesus saw the crowd, he went across Lake Galilee. A teacher of the Law of Moses came up to him and said, “Teacher, I'll go anywhere with you!” Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens, and birds have nests. But the Son of Man doesn't have a place to call his own.” Another disciple said to Jesus, “Lord, let me wait till I bury my father.” Jesus answered, “Follow me, and let the dead bury their dead.”
