The Cost of Discipleship

Matthew 8:18-22

And Jesus seeing great multitudes about him, gave orders to pass over the water.

And a certain scribe came and said to him: Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou shalt go.

And Jesus saith to him: The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.

And another of his disciples said to him: Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.

But Jesus said to him: Follow me, and let the dead bury their dead.
