[19] A scribe came, and said to him, "Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go." [20] Jesus said to him, "The foxes have holes, and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head." [21] Another of his disciples said to him, "Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father." [22] But Jesus said to him, "Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead."
