Matthew 8:18-22

Holman Christian Standard Bible

Following Jesus

¹⁸ When Jesus saw large crowds^[a](A) around Him, He gave the order to go to the other side of the sea.^{[b] 19} A scribe approached Him and said,^(B) “Teacher, I will follow You wherever You go!”

²⁰ Jesus told him, “Foxes have dens and birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man^(C) has no place to lay His head.”

²¹ “Lord,” another of His disciples said, “first let me go bury my father.”^[c]

²² But Jesus told him, “Follow Me, and let the dead bury their own dead.”
