57As they were going ralong the road, ssomeone said to him, “I will follow you wherever you go.” 58And 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.” 59To another he said, “Follow me.” But he said, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father.” 60And Jesus7 said to him, “Leave tthe dead to bury their own dead. But as for you, go and uproclaim the kingdom of God.” 61Yet another said, “I will follow you, Lord, vbut let me first say farewell to those at my home.” 62Jesus said to him, w“No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.”
