'Follow' in the Bible

After this, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax office, and He said to him, “Follow Me!”

So, leaving everything behind, he got up and began to follow Him.

Then He said to them all, “If anyone wants to come with Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow Me.

John responded, “Master, we saw someone driving out demons in Your name, and we tried to stop him because he does not follow us.”

As they were traveling on the road someone said to Him, “I will follow You wherever You go!”

Then He said to another, “Follow Me.”“Lord,” he said, “first let me go bury my father.”

Another also said, “I will follow You, Lord, but first let me go and say good-bye to those at my house.”

They will say to you, ‘Look there!’ or ‘Look here!’ Don’t follow or run after them.

When Jesus heard this, He told him, “You still lack one thing: Sell all that you have and distribute it to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me.”

Instantly he could see, and he began to follow Him, glorifying God. All the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.

Then He said, “Watch out that you are not deceived. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He,’ and, ‘The time is near.’ Don’t follow them.

“Listen,” He said to them, “when you’ve entered the city, a man carrying a water jug will meet you. Follow him into the house he enters.
