* Now it came to pass , when the time had come for Him to be received up , that He steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem , * and sent messengers before His face . And as they went , they entered a village of the Samaritans , to prepare for Him . * But they did not receive Him , because His face was set for the journey to Jerusalem . * And when His disciples James and John saw this , they said , "Lord , do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them , just as Elijah did ?" * But He turned and rebuked them , and said , "You do not know what manner of spirit you are of . * For the Son of Man did not come to destroy men 's lives but to save them ." And they went to another village . * Now it happened as they journeyed on the road , that someone said to Him , "Lord , I will follow You wherever You go ." * 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 ." * Then He said to another , "Follow Me ." But he said , "Lord , let me first go and bury my father ." * Jesus said to him , "Let the dead bury their own dead , but you go and preach the kingdom of God ." * And another also said , "Lord , I will follow You , but let me first go and bid them farewell who are at my house ." * But Jesus said to him , "No one , having put his hand to the plow , and looking back , is fit for the kingdom of God ."
