Luke 9: 51 - 62
|
| 51
|
When the days drew near for him to be received up, he set his face to go to Jerusalem.
|
| 52
|
And he sent messengers ahead of him, who went and entered a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him;
|
| 53
|
but the people would not receive him, because his face was set toward Jerusalem.
|
| 54
|
And when his disciples James and John saw it, they said, "Lord, do you want us to bid fire come down from heaven and consume them?"
|
| 55
|
But he turned and rebuked them.
|
| 56
|
And they went on to another village.
|
| 57
|
As they were going along the road, a man said to him, "I will follow you wherever you go."
|
| 58
|
And Jesus said to him, "Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man has nowhere to lay his head."
|
| 59
|
To another he said, "Follow me." But he said, "Lord, let me first go and bury my father."
|
| 60
|
But he said to him, "Leave the dead to bury their own dead; but as for you, go and proclaim the kingdom of God."
|
| 61
|
Another said, "I will follow you, Lord; but let me first say farewell to those at my home."
|
| 62
|
Jesus said to him, "No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God."
