Luke 9:52-62

52and He sent messengers on ahead of Him, and they went and entered a village of the 1Samaritans to 2make arrangements for Him. 53But they did not receive Him, 3because 4He was traveling toward Jerusalem. 54When His disciples 5James and John saw this, they said, “Lord, do You want us to 6command fire to come down from heaven and consume them?” 55But He turned and rebuked them, [7and said, “You do not know what kind of spirit you are of; 56for the Son of Man did not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them.”] And they went on to another village.

578As they were going along the road, 9someone said to Him, “I will follow You wherever You go.” 58And Jesus said to him, “The foxes have holes and the birds of the 10air have 11nests, but 12the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.” 59And He said to another, “13Follow Me.” But he said, “Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father.” 60But He said to him, “Allow the dead to bury their own dead; but as for you, go and 14proclaim everywhere the kingdom of God.” 61Another also said, “I will follow You, Lord; but 15first permit me to say good-bye to those at home.” 62But Jesus said to him, “16No one, after putting his hand to the plow and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.”
