Simon Peter asked him,“ Lord, where are you going?” Jesus replied,“ Where I am going you can’t follow now. But you will follow me later.”“ Lord,” Peter asked,“ why can’t I follow you now? I will give my life for you.”Then Jesus answered,“ Will you really give your life for me? What I’m about to tell you is true. Before the rooster crows, you will say three times that you don’t know me!

But Simon replied,“ Lord, I am ready to go with you to prison and to death.”Jesus answered,“ I tell you, Peter, you will say three times that you don’t know me. And you will do it before the rooster crows today.”

In the same way, you must give up everything you have. Those of you who don’t cannot be my disciple.

Once Jesus and those who were with him were walking along the road. A man said to Jesus,“ I will follow you no matter where you go.”Jesus replied,“ Foxes have dens. Birds have nests. But the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.”He said to another man,“ Follow me.” But the man replied,“ Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”Jesus said to him,“ Let dead people bury their own dead. You go and tell others about God’s kingdom.”

“ You have spoken well, teacher,” the man replied.“ You are right in saying that God is one. There is no other God but him.To love God with all your heart and mind and strength is very important. So is loving your neighbor as you love yourself. These things are more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.”Jesus saw that the man had answered wisely. He said to him,“ You are not far from God’s kingdom.” From then on, no one dared to ask Jesus any more questions.

Large crowds were traveling with Jesus. He turned and spoke to them. He said,“ Anyone who comes to me must hate their father and mother. They must hate their wife and children. They must hate their brothers and sisters. And they must hate even their own life. Unless they do this, they can’t be my disciple.Whoever doesn’t carry their cross and follow me can’t be my disciple.

Where is the wise person? Where is the teacher of the law? Where are the great thinkers of our time? Hasn’t God made the wisdom of the world foolish?

So Ezra came up from Babylon. He was a teacher who knew the Law of Moses very well. The Lord, the God of Israel, had given Israel that law. The king had given Ezra everything he asked for. That’s because the Lord his God helped him.
