Matt 8:18 · Douay-Rheims
“And Jesus seeing great multitudes about him, gave orders to pass over the water.”
On this verse:
“In what one thing is this disciple like the Scribe? The one called Him Master, the other confesses Him as his Lord. The one from filial piety asks permission to go and bury his father; the other offers to follow, not seeking a master, but by means of his master seeking gain for himself.”
