unto the road, that someone said to Him, “Lord, I will follow you wherever You go.” And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.” Then He said to another, “Follow Me.” But he said, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father.”

Luke 9:57-62• Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their

own dead, but you go and preach the kingdom of God.” And another also said, “Lord, I will follow You, but let me first go and bid them farewell who are at my house.” But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.”

Luke 10:1-9• After these things the Lord appointed

seventy others also, and sent them two by two before His face into every city and place where He Himself was about to go.

Go your way, behold, I send you out as lambs among wolves.

Luke 10:1-9• Carry neither money bag, knapsack, nor

sandals; and greet no one along the road. But whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’ And if a son of peace is there, your peace will rest on it; If not, it will return to you. And remain in the same house, eating and drinking such things as they give, for the labourer is worthy of his wages. Do not go from house to house.
