The Would-Be Followers of Jesus (MAT 8:18-22)

[8:18] When Jesus noticed the crowd around him, he ordered his disciples to go to the other side of the lake.

[8:19] A teacher of the Law came to him. “Teacher,” he said, “I am ready to go with you wherever you go.”

[8:20] Jesus answered him, “Foxes have holes, and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lie down and rest.”

[8:21] Another man, who was a disciple, said, “Sir, first let me go back and bury my father.”

[8:22] “Follow me,” Jesus answered, “and let the dead bury their own dead.”
