As they were walking along the road, a man said to him, "I will
follow you wherever you go." Jesus replied,
"Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of
Man has no place to lay his head."
He said to another man, "Follow me."
But the man replied, "Lord, first let me go and bury my father."
Jesus said to him, "Let the dead bury their
own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God."
Still another said, "I will follow you, Lord; but first let me go
back and say good-by to my family." Jesus replied,
"No one who puts his hand to the plow and
looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God."
Luke 9: 57-62 (NIV) |
