57 As they were going along the road, a man said to him, »I will follow you wherever you go.«

58 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.«

59 To another he said, »Follow me.« But he said, »Lord, let me first go and bury my father.«

60 Jesus said to him, »Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God.«

61 Still another said, »I will follow you, Lord; but first let me go back and say farewell to those at my home.«

62 Jesus said to him, »No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.«
