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.

62 Jésus lui répondit: Quiconque met la main à la charrue, et regarde en arrière, n’est pas propre au royaume de Dieu.
