Luke:9:51-62
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And it came to pass ,
when the time was come that he should be received up ,
he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem ,
*
And sent messengers before his face :
and they went ,
and entered into a village of the Samaritans ,
to make ready for him .
*
And they did not receive him ,
because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem .
*
And when his disciples James and John saw this ,
they said ,
Lord ,
wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven ,
and consume them ,
even as Elias did ?
*
But he turned ,
and rebuked them ,
and said ,
Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of .
*
For the Son of man is not come to destroy men '
s lives ,
but to save them .
And they went to another village .
*
And it came to pass ,
that ,
as they went in the way ,
a certain man said unto him ,
Lord ,
I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest .
*
And Jesus said unto him ,
Foxes have holes ,
and birds of the air have nests ;
but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head .
*
And he said unto another ,
Follow me .
But he said ,
Lord ,
suffer me first to go and bury my father .
*
Jesus said unto him ,
Let the dead bury their dead :
but go thou and preach the kingdom of God .
*
And another also said ,
Lord ,
I will follow thee ;
but let me first go bid them farewell ,
which are at home at my house .
*
And Jesus said unto him ,
No man ,
having put his hand to the plough ,
and looking back ,
is fit for the kingdom of God .
