The Son Of Man

Has No Where To Lay His Head

The Twelve Apostles

No Where To Lay His Head
In another event:

A scribe, a faithful friend of John, stood by the sea. He called to Jesus and he said, “Teacher, let me follow where you go.”
And Jesus said, “You seek a safe retreat from evil men. There is no safety for your life with me. For evil men will take my life as they have taken John's. The foxes of the earth have safe retreats. The birds have nests secure among the hidden rocks, but I have not a place where I may lay my head and rest secure.”

Then an apostle said, “Lord, suffer me to tarry here a while, that I may take my father, who is dead, and lay him in the tomb.”
But Jesus said, “The dead can care for those who die. The living wait for those who live. Come, follow me.”

Now it happened as they journeyed on 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.”

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.”
