Answer Details

Jesus replied to the disciple who said "I will follow you, but let me first say farewell to those at home" by saying, "No one who puts his hand to the plough and looks back is fit for the Kingdom of God." This means that anyone who wishes to follow Jesus should do so wholeheartedly, without any hesitation or turning back. Just like a farmer who ploughs a field, he must keep his eyes focused ahead and not look back. Jesus was emphasizing the need for complete dedication and commitment to the cause of the Kingdom of God, and not allowing worldly distractions to hinder one's walk with Him.
