56 for the Son of Man did not come to destroy men`s lives, but to save;` and they went on to another village.
57 And it came to pass, as they are going on in the way, a certain one said unto him, `I will follow thee wherever thou mayest go, sir;`
58 and Jesus said to him, `The foxes have holes, and the fowls of the heaven places of rest, but the Son of Man hath not where he may recline the head.`
59 And he said unto another, `Be following me;` and he said, `Sir, permit me, having gone away, first to bury my father;`
60 and Jesus said to him, `Suffer the dead to bury their own dead, and thou, having gone away, publish the reign of God.`
61 And another also said, `I will follow thee, sir, but first permit me to take leave of those in my house;`
62 and Jesus said unto him, `No one having put his hand on a plough, and looking back, is fit for the reign of God.`
