Luke 9:57-62 Later, upon their continuing in traveling on their way on the road (or: in the path or way), a certain person said to Him, "I will follow You wherever You may continue going off and others read: may continue leading under control p, Lord."

JMNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵⁷ Later, upon their continuing in traveling on their way on the road (or: in the path or way), a certain person said to Him, "I will follow You wherever You may continue going off [p45 and others read: may continue leading under control], Lord." ⁵⁸ Then Jesus said to him, "The foxes are normally having burrows (or: dens; holes), and the birds of the sky (or: atmosphere; heaven) [have] nests (or: roosts; places for 'tenting-down,' i.e., camping or lodging), yet the Son of the Man is not normally or presently having [a place] where He may recline [His] head." ⁵⁹ Now He said to a different person, "Be habitually following Me." Yet the person says, "Master (or: Lord), allow (or: Permit) me first, after going away, to bury my father." ⁶⁰ But He said to him, "Let (or: Abandon and allow) the dead folks to bury their own dead people. Yet you, yourself, after going away, throughout [the land] and abroad be constantly announcing God's sovereign reign (or: kingdom)." ⁶¹ So a different person also said, "I will be following You, Lord, but first allow (or: permit) me to at once make arrangements (or: set things off in order) for myself, [going] unto my household so as to detach myself and say good-by to the people at home." ⁶² "But Jesus said to him, "No one, after thrusting [his] hand upon a plow and then looking into the things behind, is well-fitted for (or: well-placed in; thus: suitable or useful to) God's sovereign reign (or: kingdom; royal activities)."
