# No one ... fit for the kingdom of God
Jesus responds with a proverb to teach the man about being his disciple. Jesus means that a person is not suitable for the kingdom to God if he focuses on people in his past instead of following Jesus. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/writing-proverbs]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit]])
"Anyone who ... looks back is not fit for the kingdom of God."
# No one who puts his hand to the plow
# No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back
Here "puts his hand to" something is an idiom that means the person starts to do something. Alternate translation: "No one who starts to plow his field" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-idiom]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/translate-unknown]])
"No one who starts to plow his field and looks back"
# looks back
Anyone who is looking back while plowing cannot guide the plow where it needs to go. That person must focus on looking forward in order to plow well.
# fit for the kingdom of God
"useful for the kingdom of God" or "suitable for the kingdom of God"
# is fit for the kingdom of God
"is useful for the kingdom of God" or "is suitable for the kingdom of God"
