Would–Be Followers of Jesus

18 Now when Jesus saw great crowds around him, he gave orders to go over to the other side.

19 A scribe then approached and said, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.”

20 And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.”

21 Another of his disciples said to him, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”

22 But Jesus said to him, “Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead.”
