So he departed from there and found Elisha the son of Shaphat while he was plowing, with twelve yoke of oxen in front of him, and he with the twelfth. And Elijah came over to him and threw his cloak on him.Then he left the oxen behind and ran after Elijah, and said,“ Please let me kiss my father and my mother, then I will follow you.” And he said to him,“ Go back, for what have I done to you?”So he returned from following him, and took the pair of oxen and sacrificed them, and cooked their meat with the implements of the oxen, and gave it to the people and they ate. Then he got up and followed Elijah and served him.

Matthew 19:22-27
But when the young man heard this statement, he went away grieving; for he was one who owned much property.And Jesus said to His disciples,“ Truly I say to you, it will be hard for a rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven.And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.”When the disciples heard this, they were very astonished and said,“ Then who can be saved?”And looking at them, Jesus said to them,“ With people this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”Then Peter responded and said to Him,“ Behold, we have left everything and followed You; what then will there be for us?”

And He said to another,“ Follow Me.” But he said,“ Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father.”But He said to him,“ Allow the dead to bury their own dead; but as for you, go and proclaim everywhere the kingdom of God.”Another also said,“ I will follow You, Lord; but first permit me to say goodbye to those at my home.”But Jesus said to him,“ No one, after putting his hand to the plow and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.”
