Then a teacher of the law came to him and said,“ Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.”

Then a teacher of the law came to him. He said,“ Teacher, I will follow you no matter where you go.”

And a scribe came up and said to him,“ Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.”

A scribe approached him and said,“ Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.”

Then a scribe came and said to Him,“ Teacher, I will follow You wherever You go.”

Then a certain scribe came and said to Him,“ Teacher, I will follow You wherever You go.”

And there came a scribe, and said unto him, Teacher, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.

A scribe approached Him and said,“ Teacher, I will follow You wherever You go!”

And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.

Then an expert in the law came to him and said,“ Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.”

A scribe came, and said to him,“ Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.”

Simon Peter asked,“ Lord, where are you going?” And Jesus replied,“ You can’t go with me now, but you will follow me later.”“ But why can’t I come now, Lord?” he asked.“ I’m ready to die for you.”Jesus answered,“ Die for me? I tell you the truth, Peter— before the rooster crows tomorrow morning, you will deny three times that you even know me.

Peter said,“ Lord, I am ready to go to prison with you, and even to die with you.”But Jesus said,“ Peter, let me tell you something. Before the rooster crows tomorrow morning, you will deny three times that you even know me.”

So you cannot become my disciple without giving up everything you own.

As they were walking along, someone said to Jesus,“ I will follow you wherever you go.”But Jesus replied,“ Foxes have dens to live in, and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place even to lay his head.”He said to another person,“ Come, follow me.” The man agreed, but he said,“ Lord, first let me return home and bury my father.”But Jesus told him,“ Let the spiritually dead bury their own dead! Your duty is to go and preach about the Kingdom of God.”

The teacher of religious law replied,“ Well said, Teacher. You have spoken the truth by saying that there is only one God and no other.And I know it is important to love him with all my heart and all my understanding and all my strength, and to love my neighbor as myself. This is more important than to offer all of the burnt offerings and sacrifices required in the law.”Realizing how much the man understood, Jesus said to him,“ You are not far from the Kingdom of God.” And after that, no one dared to ask him any more questions.

A large crowd was following Jesus. He turned around and said to them,“ If you want to be my disciple, you must, by comparison, hate everyone else— your father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters— yes, even your own life. Otherwise, you cannot be my disciple.And if you do not carry your own cross and follow me, you cannot be my disciple.

So where does this leave the philosophers, the scholars, and the world’s brilliant debaters? God has made the wisdom of this world look foolish.

This Ezra was a scribe who was well versed in the Law of Moses, which the Lord, the God of Israel, had given to the people of Israel. He came up to Jerusalem from Babylon, and the king gave him everything he asked for, because the gracious hand of the Lord his God was on him.
