The Cost of Discipleship

Matthew 8:18-22

And Jesus having seen great multitudes about him, did command to depart to the other side;

and a certain scribe having come, said to him, `Teacher, I will follow thee wherever thou mayest go;'

and Jesus saith to him, `The foxes have holes, and the birds of the heaven places of rest, but the Son of Man hath not where he may lay the head.'

And another of his disciples said to him, `Sir, permit me first to depart and to bury my father;'

and Jesus said to him, `Follow me, and suffer the dead to bury their own dead.'
