The verses around it, from Matthew 8.
16 When evening came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to Jesus, and He drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick.
17 This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah: “He took on our infirmities and carried our diseases.”
18 When Jesus saw a large crowd around Him, He gave orders to cross to the other side of the sea.
19 And one of the scribes came to Him and said, “Teacher, I will follow You wherever You go.”
20 Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay His head.”
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.”
23 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.
