Luke 9:59 in Context — Luke 9
57 Pendant qu’ils étaient en chemin, un homme lui dit: Seigneur, je te suivrai partout où tu iras.
58 Jésus lui répondit: Les renards ont des tanières, et les oiseaux du ciel ont des nids: mais le Fils de l’homme n’a pas un lieu où il puisse reposer sa tête.
59 Il dit à un autre: Suis-moi. Et il répondit: Seigneur, permets-moi d’aller d’abord ensevelir mon père.
60 Mais Jésus lui dit: Laisse les morts ensevelir leurs morts; et toi, va annoncer le royaume de Dieu.
61 Un autre dit: Je te suivrai, Seigneur, mais permets-moi d’aller d’abord prendre congé de ceux de ma maison.
