Matthew 8:19-21

J.B. Phillips New Testament

^18-19 When Jesus had seen the great crowds around him he gave orders for departure to the other side of the lake. But before they started, one of the scribes came up to Jesus and said to him, “Master, I will follow you wherever you go.”

²⁰ “Foxes have earths, birds in the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere that he can call his own,” replied Jesus.

²¹ Another of his disciples said, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father.”
