Would-Be Followers of Jesus

18 When Jesus saw the [fn]large crowds around him, he gave orders to depart to the other side of the sea. 19 Then a scribe came up and said to him, “Teacher, I will follow yoʋ wherever yoʋ go.” 20 Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes, and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.” 21 Then another of [fn]his disciples said to him, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father.” 22 But Jesus said to him, “Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead.”
