Matthew 8:18-22

18 Now Jesus, seeing a multitude about him, gave orders to depart unto the other side. 19 And a certain scribe, coming near, said unto him, - Teacher; I will follow thee, whithersoever Thou goest.

20 And Jesus saith unto him: The foxes, have, dens, and, the birds of the heavens, nests, - but, the Son of Man, hath not where, his head he may recline.

21 And, another of the disciples, saith unto him, - Lord! suffer me, first, to depart, and bury my father.

22 But, Jesus, saith unto him, - Be following me, and leave, the dead, to bury, their own dead.

Luke 9:57-62

57 And, as they were journeying on the road, one said unto him - I will follow thee, whithersoever thou shalt depart.

58 And Jesus said unto him - the foxes, have, dens, and, the birds of heaven, nests; but, the Son of Man, hath not where, his head, he may recline. 59 And he said unto another - Be following me! But, he, said - Suffer me, first, to depart, and bury my father.

60 And he said unto him - Leave, the dead, to bury their own dead; but, thou, departing, be declaring the kingdom of God.

61 And, yet another, said - I will follow thee, Lord; But, first, suffer me to bid adieu to them that are in my house.

62 But Jesus said unto him - No one, laying the hand on a plough and looking unto the things behind, is, fit, for the kingdom of God.
