9 57 As they were going along the road a man said to him, 'I will follow you wherever you go.' 9 58 Jesus answered, 'Foxes have their holes, the birds their roosts; but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.' 9 59 To another he said, 'Follow me', but the man replied, 'Let me go and bury my father first.' 9 60 Jesus said, 'Leave the dead to bury their dead; you must go and announce the kingdom of God.' 9 61 Yet another said, 'I will follow you, sir; but let me first say goodbye to my people at home.' 9 62 To him Jesus said, 'No one who sets his hand to the plough and then keeps looking back Some witnesses read: No one who looks back as he sets hand to the plough ... is fit for the kingdom of God.'
