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 bye 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."
