*
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 ."
