New International Version (NIV) |
|
51 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,
|
51 As the time approached for him to be taken up to heaven, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem.
|
|
52 And sent messengers before his face: and they went , and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.
|
52 And he sent messengers on ahead, who went into a Samaritan village to get things ready for him;
|
|
53 And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem.
|
53 but the people there did not welcome him, because he was heading for Jerusalem.
|
|
54 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 ?
|
54 When the disciples James and John saw this, they asked, "Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to destroy them ?"
|
|
55 But he turned , and rebuked them, and said , Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of .
|
55 But Jesus turned and rebuked them,
|
|
56 For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.
|
56 and they went to another village.
|
|
57 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 .
|
57 As they were walking along the road, a man said to him, "I will follow you wherever you go."
|
|
58 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.
|
58 Jesus replied, "Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head."
|
|
59 And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said , Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.
|
59 He said to another man, "Follow me." But the man replied, "Lord, first let me go and bury my father."
|
|
60 Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.
|
60 Jesus said to him, "Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God."
|
|
61 And another also said , Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell , which are at home at my house.
|
61 Still another said, "I will follow you, Lord; but first let me go back and say good-by to my family."
|
|
62 And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back , is fit for the kingdom of God.
|
62 Jesus replied, "No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God."
