HOMILY
Matthew places this encounter between Jesus and two people who want to follow him in the midst of a long series of healings and other events whose context is not specified, but which seem to take place at the beginning of His public life. Luke's Gospel places the same encounter during Jesus' final journey to Jerusalem, where He will be put to death. Jesus' call, ‘Follow me,’ then takes on a whole new meaning.
