'Follow' in the Bible

A scribe came, and said to him, "Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go."

But Jesus said to him, "Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead."

As Jesus passed by from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax collection office. He said to him, "Follow me." He got up and followed him.

He who doesn't take his cross and follow after me, isn't worthy of me.

Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

Jesus said to him, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me."
