Matthew 8:19-22; Luke 9:57-62. And a certain scribe came and said to him: Master, I will follow you wherever you go. And Jesus said to him: The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head. And he said to another: Follow me. But he said: Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father. But Jesus said to him: Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead; but you, go and proclaim the kingdom of God. And another said: I will follow you, Lord, but first allow me to bid farewell to those who are at my home. Jesus said to him: No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.
