Luke 9:57-62

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

Jesus Says Follow Me Now, Unbound By Earthly Concerns

⁵⁷ And while they were proceeding on the road, someone said to Him, “I will follow You wherever You go”. ⁵⁸ And Jesus said to him, “The foxes have holes, and the birds of the heaven have nests, but the Son of Man does not have a place where He may lay His head”. ⁵⁹ And He said to another, “Be following Me”. But the one said, “Master, permit me, having gone, to first bury^[a] my father”. ⁶⁰ But He said to him, “Allow the dead to bury their own dead. But you, having gone, be proclaiming the kingdom of God”. ⁶¹ And another also said, “I will follow You, Master. But first permit me to say-good-bye to the ones in my house”. ⁶² But Jesus said to him, “No one having put his hand on the plow and looking to the things behind^[b] is fit^[c] for the kingdom of God”.
