Luke 9:57

Jesus
Following Jesus

55 But Jesus turned and rebuked them.

56 And He and His disciples went on to another village.

As they were walking along the road, someone said to Jesus, “I will follow You wherever You go.”

58 Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay His head.”

59 Then He said to another man, “Follow Me.” The man replied, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”
