57 While they were walking, one man told Jesus, "I will follow you wherever you go!"

58 Jesus told the man, "Foxes have their dens, and wild birds have their nests, but the Son of man doesn’t even have a place to rest his head."

59 He told another man, "Follow me." But the man replied, "Master, first let me go home and bury my father."

60 "Let the dead bury their own dead," Jesus replied. "You go and proclaim God’s kingdom."

61 Another man said, "Lord, I will follow you! But first let me go home and say goodbye to my family."

62 But Jesus told him, "Nobody once they’ve started plowing and then looks back is fit for God’s kingdom."
