58 Jesus told him, "Foxes have holes, and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to sleep."

Luke 9:58 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 9:58

And Jesus said unto him, foxes have holes
Both the words of this man to Christ, and Christ's answer to him, are exactly the same as in Matthew, which makes it look as if it was the same history; though it is not improbable, that Christ might be accosted in the same manner by another person, at another time and place, and return a like answer to each; (See Gill on Matthew 8:20).

Luke 9:58 In-Context

56 So they went to another village.
57 As they were walking along the road, a man said to Jesus, "I'll follow you wherever you go."
58 Jesus told him, "Foxes have holes, and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to sleep."
59 He told another man, "Follow me!" But the man said, "Sir, first let me go to bury my father."
60 But Jesus told him, "Let the dead bury their own dead. You must go everywhere and tell about the kingdom of God."
