Luke 9:57-62

GOD’S WORD Translation

What It Takes to Be a Disciple^(A)

⁵⁷ As they were walking along the road, a man said to Jesus, “I’ll follow you wherever you go.”

⁵⁸ Jesus told him, “Foxes have holes, and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to sleep.”

⁵⁹ He told another man, “Follow me!”

But the man said, “Sir, first let me go to bury my father.”

⁶⁰ But Jesus told him, “Let the dead bury their own dead. You must go everywhere and tell about God’s kingdom.”

⁶¹ Another said, “I’ll follow you, sir, but first let me tell my family goodbye.”

⁶² Jesus said to him, “Whoever starts to plow and looks back is not fit for God’s kingdom.”
