56: Jesus Teaches That All Else Must Be Forsaken
Matthew 8:19-22; Luke 9:57-62
Jesus Teaches That All Else Must Be Forsaken
A Man came to Jesus and said:
“Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.”
Jesus replied:
“Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.”
Jesus spoke to another man, saying:
“Follow me.”
The man said:
“Lord, suffer me to first go and bury my father.”
Jesus said to him:
“Let the dead bury their dead. But go thou and preach the kingdom of God.”
Another man said to Jesus:
“Lord, I will follow thee. But let me first go bid them farewell which are at home at my house.”
To him Jesus said:
“No man, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.”
