Genesis 11:10--26 and Matthew 8:14-22 (NIV)


Genesis 11:10-26
10  This is the account of Shem’s family line.  Two years after the flood, when Shem was 100 years old, he became the father of Arphaxad. 
11  And after he became the father of Arphaxad, Shem lived 500 years and had other sons and daughters. 
12  When Arphaxad had lived 35 years, he became the father of Shelah. 
13  And after he became the father of Shelah, Arphaxad lived 403 years and had other sons and daughters.
14  When Shelah had lived 30 years, he became the father of Eber. 
15  And after he became the father of Eber, Shelah lived 403 years and had other sons and daughters.
16  When Eber had lived 34 years, he became the father of Peleg. 
17  And after he became the father of Peleg, Eber lived 430 years and had other sons and daughters.
18  When Peleg had lived 30 years, he became the father of Reu. 
19  And after he became the father of Reu, Peleg lived 209 years and had other sons and daughters.
20  When Reu had lived 32 years, he became the father of Serug. 
21  And after he became the father of Serug, Reu lived 207 years and had other sons and daughters.
22When Serug had lived 30 years, he became the father of Nahor. 
23  And after he became the father of Nahor, Serug lived 200 years and had other sons and daughters.
24  When Nahor had lived 29 years, he became the father of Terah. 
25  And after he became the father of Terah, Nahor lived 119 years and had other sons and daughters.
26  After Terah had lived 70 years, he became the father of Abram, Nahor and Haran.  

Matthew 8:14-22
Jesus Heals Many
14  When Jesus came into Peter’s house, he saw Peter’s mother-in-law lying in bed with a fever. 
15  He touched her hand and the fever left her, and she got up and began to wait on him.
16  When evening came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to him, 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 up our infirmities and bore our diseases.”
The Cost of Following Jesus
18  When Jesus saw the crowd around him, he gave orders to cross to the other side of the lake. 
19  Then a teacher of the law came to him and said, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.” 
20  Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.”
21  Another disciple said to him, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”
22  But Jesus told him, “Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead.”
