Luke 9:52-62
52He sentG649 messengersG32 on aheadG4253G846G4383, who wentG4198G1525 intoG1519 a villageG2968 of the SamaritansG4541 toG5613 make arrangementsG2090 for HimG846. 53ButG2532 the people there refused to welcomeG3756G1209 HimG846, becauseG3754 HeG846G3588G4383 wasG1510 headingG4198 forG1519 JerusalemG2419.
54WhenG1161 theG3588 disciplesG3101 JamesG2385 andG2532 JohnG2491 sawG3708 this, they askedG2036, “LordG2962, do You wantG2309 us to callG2036 downG2597 fireG4442 fromG575 heavenG37721 to consumeG355 themG846?”
55ButG1161 Jesus turnedG4762 and rebukedG2008 themG846.2 56AndG2532 He and His disciples went onG4198 toG1519 anotherG2087 villageG2968.
As theyG846 were walkingG4198 alongG1722 theG3588 roadG3598, someoneG5100 saidG2036 toG4314 Jesus, “I will followG190 YouG4771 whereverG3699G1437 You goG565.”
JesusG2424 repliedG2036, “FoxesG258 haveG2192 densG5454 andG2532 birdsG4071 of theG3588 airG3772 have nestsG2682, butG1161 theG3588 SonG5207 of ManG444 hasG2192 no placeG3756G4226 to layG2827 His headG2776.”
59ThenG1161 He saidG2036 toG4314 anotherG2087 man, “FollowG190 MeG1473.”
The man repliedG2036, “LordG2962, firstG4412 letG2010 meG1473 goG565 and buryG2290 myG1473 fatherG3962.”
60ButG1161 Jesus toldG2036 himG846, “LetG863 theG3588 deadG3498 buryG2290 their ownG1438 deadG3498. YouG4771, howeverG1161, goG565 and proclaimG1229 theG3588 kingdomG932 of GodG2316.”
61StillG1161 anotherG2087 saidG2036, “I will followG190 YouG4771, LordG2962; butG1161 firstG4412 letG2010 meG1473 bid farewellG657 toG3588 myG1473 familyG3624.”
62ThenG1161 JesusG2424 declaredG2036G4314G846, “No oneG3762 who putsG1911 his handG5495 toG1909 the plowG723 and thenG2532 looksG991 backG1519G3588G3694 isG1510 fitG2111 for theG3588 kingdomG932 of GodG2316.”
