Matthew 8:18-22

Jesus teaches about the cost of following him Matthew 8:18-22; Luke 9:51-62; Matthew 8:18; Matthew 8:18 Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave commandment to depart unto the other side. Luke 9:51; Luke 9:51 And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem, Luke 9:52; Luke 9:52 And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.

Luke 9:53; Luke 9:53 And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem.

Luke 9:54; Luke 9:54 And when his disciples James and John saw [this], they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did?

Luke 9:55; Luke 9:55 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.

Luke 9:56; Luke 9:56 For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save [them]. And they went to another village. Matthew 8:19; Matthew 8:19 And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. Luke 9:57; Luke 9:57 And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain [man] said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. Matthew 8:20; Matthew 8:20 And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air [have] nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay [his] head. Luke 9:5; Luke 9:58 And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air [have] nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay [his] head. Matthew 8:21; Matthew 8:21 And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. Luke 9:5; Luke 9:59 And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. Matthew 8:22; Matthew 8:22 But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead. Luke 9:60; Luke 9:60 Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God. Luke 9:61; Luke 9:61 And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.

Luke 9:62; Luke 9:62 And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
