Matthew 8:19

An Understandable Version (2005 edition)

[While there] an expert in the Law of Moses said to Him, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.”

See the chapter Copy

So therefore, every one of you who does not say ‘goodbye’ to everything he owns cannot be my disciple.

Where is the wise person? And where is the expert in the law? [And] where is the debater of this world?

And perhaps I will stay with you, even for the winter, so that you can help me on my journey, wherever I go.
