'Follow Me' in the Bible

And after these [things], he went out and saw a tax collector {named} Levi sitting at the tax booth, and he said to him, "Follow me!"

And he said to [them] all, "If anyone wants to come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross every day and follow me.

And he said to another, "Follow me!" But he said, "Lord, first allow me to go [and] bury my father."

And [when he] heard [this], Jesus said to him, "{You still lack one thing}: Sell all that you have, and distribute [the proceeds] to the poor--and you will have treasure in heaven--and come, follow me."
