Luke 9:52-62

52He sent messengers ahead of him. They went into a Samaritan village to arrange a place for him to stay.

53But the people didn’t welcome him, because he was on his way to Jerusalem.

54James and John, his disciples, saw this. They asked, “Lord, do you want us to call down fire from heaven to burn them up?”

55But he turned and corrected them.

56So they went to another village.

57As they were walking along the road, a man said to Jesus, “I’ll follow you wherever you go.”

58Jesus told him, “Foxes have holes, and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to sleep.”

59He told another man, “Follow me!” But the man said, “Sir, first let me go to bury my father.”

60But Jesus told him, “Let the dead bury their own dead. You must go everywhere and tell about God’s kingdom.”

61Another said, “I’ll follow you, sir, but first let me tell my family goodbye.”

62Jesus said to him, “Whoever starts to plow and looks back is not fit for God’s kingdom.”
