Three People Who Wanted To Be Followers

(Matthew 8.19-22)

⁵⁷ Along the way someone said to Jesus, “I'll follow you anywhere!”

⁵⁸ Jesus said, “Foxes have dens, and birds have nests, but the Son of Man doesn't have a place to call his own.”

⁵⁹ Jesus told someone else to come with him. But the man said, “Lord, let me wait until I bury my father.”^[a]
