Luke 9:57-62

Evangelical Heritage Version

Follow Jesus

⁵⁷ As they went on the way, a man said to him, “I will follow you wherever you go.”

⁵⁸ Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.”

⁵⁹ He said to another man, “Follow me!”

But he said, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”

⁶⁰ Jesus told him, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God.”

⁶¹ Another man also said, “I will follow you, Lord, but first let me say good-bye to those at my home.”

⁶² Jesus told him, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.”
