Matthew 8:18-22 - Would-Be Followers
18 And Jesus seeing the multitudes about Him, gave command to go away to the other side. 19 And one scribe having come, said to Him, Teacher, I will follow thee whithersoever thou mayest go.
20 And Jesus says to him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of heaven nests; but the Son of man has not where He may recline His head.
21 And another of His disciples said to Him, Lord, permit me first to go away and bury my father.
22 And Jesus says to him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.
57 And they going on the way, a certain one said to Him, Lord, I will follow thee wheresoever thou mayest go.
58 And Jesus said to him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of heaven nests; but the Son of man has not a place where He may recline His head. 59 And He said to another, Follow thou me. And he said, Lord, permit me first having gone away to bury my father.
60 And Jesus said to him, Let the dead bury their dead; but thou having gone away proclaim the kingdom of God.
61 And another said to Him, Lord, I will follow thee; but first permit me to bid adieu to those at my own home.
62 And Jesus said to him, No one putting his hand to the plow, and looking back, is worthy of the kingdom of God.
