Luke 9:57-62
The Cost of Following Jesus
57aAnd as they were going along the road, bsomeone said to Him, “I will follow You wherever You go.” 58And Jesus said to him, “The foxes have holes and the birds of the 1air have 2nests, but athe Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.” 59And He said to another, “aFollow Me.” But he said, “Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father.” 60But He said to him, “Allow the dead to bury their own dead; but as for you, go and aproclaim everywhere the kingdom of God.” 61Another also said, “I will follow You, Lord, but afirst permit me to say farewell to those at home.” 62But Jesus said to him, “aNo one, after putting his hand to the plow and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.”
