Bible verse
Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay His head.”
Luke 9:58 · BSB
The verses around it, from Luke 9.
54 When the disciples James and John saw this, they asked, “Lord, do You want us to call down fire from heaven to consume them?”
55 But Jesus turned and rebuked them.
56 And He and His disciples went on to another village.
57 As they were walking along the road, someone said to Jesus, “I will follow You wherever You go.”
58 Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay His head.”
59 Then He said to another man, “Follow Me.” The man replied, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”
60 But Jesus told him, “Let the dead bury their own dead. You, however, go and proclaim the kingdom of God.”
61 Still another said, “I will follow You, Lord; but first let me bid farewell to my family.”
62 Then Jesus declared, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and then looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.”
