*
When the days drew near for him to be received up ,
he set his face to go to Jerusalem .
*
And he sent messengers ahead of him ,
who went and entered a village of the Samaritans ,
to make ready for him ;
*
but the people would not receive him ,
because his face was set toward Jerusalem .
*
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 ?"
*
But he turned and rebuked them .
*
And they went on to another village .
*
As they were going along the road ,
a man said to him , "
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 ."
*
To another he said , "
Follow me ."
But he said , "
Lord ,
let me first go and bury my father ."
*
But he said to him , "
Leave the dead to bury their own dead ;
but as for you ,
go and proclaim the kingdom of God ."
*
Another said , "
I will follow you ,
Lord ;
but let me first say farewell to those at my home ."
*
Jesus said to him , "
No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God ."
