Wesley's Notes for Luke 9:60

9:58 But Jesus said to him - First understand the terms: consider on what conditions thou art to follow me.

9:61 Suffer me first to bid them farewell that are in my house - As Elisha did after Elijah had called him from the plough, #1Kings 19:19|; to which our Lord's answer seems to allude.

9:62 Is fit for the kingdom of God - Either to propagate or to receive it.
