Matthew 8:18-22

The Cost of Following Jesus

18 Now ^awhen Jesus saw a crowd around him, ^bhe gave orders to go over to the other side. 19 ^cAnd a scribe came up and said to him, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.” 20 And 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.” 21 Another of the disciples said to him, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father.” 22 And Jesus said to him, “Follow me, and leave ^dthe dead to bury their own dead.”
