Luke 9:57-62

Following Jesus

57 As Jesus and his disciples traveled along the road, someone said to him, "I will follow you wherever you go."
58 Jesus replied, " Foxes have dens and the birds in the sky have nests, but the Human One has no place to lay his head."
59 Then Jesus said to someone else, " Follow me." He replied, "Lord, first let me go and bury my father."
60 Jesus said to him, " Let the dead bury their own dead. But you go and spread the news of God's kingdom."
61 Someone else said to Jesus, "I will follow you, Lord, but first let me say good-bye to those in my house."
62 Jesus said to him, " No one who puts a hand on the plow and looks back is fit for God's kingdom."
