15 Instead, by speaking the truth in love, we will grow up completely into the one who is the head, that is, into Christ,
28 Then Peter began to say to him, "See, we have left everything and followed you."
29 Jesus said,"Truly I tell you, there is no one who has left his home, brothers, sisters, mother, father, children, or fields because of me and the gospel
30 who will not receive a hundred times as much here in this world—homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and fields, along with persecutions—as well as eternal life in the age to come.
31 But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first."
43 The next day Jesus decided to go away into Galilee. He found Philip and said to him,"Follow me."
26 "If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father, mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters, as well as his own life, he can't be my disciple.
27 Whoeverdoesn't carry his cross and follow me can't be my disciple.
19 He said to them,"Follow me, and I will make you fishermen of people!"
20 So at once they left their nets and followed him.
26 If anyone serves me, he must follow me. And where I am, there my servant will also be. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him."
21 This is, in fact, what you were called to do, because Christ also suffered for you and left an example for you to follow in his steps.
22 "He never committed a sin, and no deceit was found in his mouth."
23 When he was insulted, he did not retaliate. When he suffered, he did not threaten but made it his habit to commit the matter to the one who judges fairly.
12 Later on Jesus spoke to them again, saying,"I am the light of the world. The one who follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."
57 While they were walking along the road, a man said to him, "I will follow you wherever you go."
58 Jesus told him, "Foxes have holes and birdshave nests,but the Son of Man has no place to rest."
59 He told another man,"Follow me."But he said, "Lord, first let me go and bury my father."
60 But he told him,"Let the dead bury their own dead. But you go and proclaim the kingdom of God."
61 Still another man said, "I will follow you, Lord, but first let me say goodbye to those at home."
62 Jesus told him,"No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God."
24 Then Jesus said to his disciples,"If anyone wants to follow me, he must deny himself, pick up his cross, and follow me continually.
9 As Jesus went on from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax collector's desk and said to him,"Follow me." So he got up and followed him.
