Matthew 8:18-22

It Costs to Follow Jesus

18 Jesus saw the crowd around him. So he gave his disciples orders to go to the other side of the Sea of Galilee.

19 Then a teacher of the law came to him. He said, "Teacher, I will follow you no matter where you go."

20 Jesus replied, "Foxes have holes. Birds of the air have nests. But the Son of Man has no place to lay his head."

21 Another follower said to him, "Lord, first let me go and bury my father."

22 But Jesus told him, "Follow me. Let the dead bury their own dead."
