Foxes Have Holes

Luke 9:57–62 ❧ Peter's Mother-in-law (Matthew)

57As they went on the way, a certain man said to him, “I want to follow you wherever you go, Lord.”

58Jesus said to him, “The foxes have holes, and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.”

59He said to another, “Follow me!”

But he said, “Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.”

60But Jesus said to him, “Leave the dead to bury their own dead, but you go and announce God’s Kingdom.”

61Another also said, “I want to follow you, Lord, but first allow me to say good-bye to those who are at my house.”

62But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for God’s Kingdom.”
