And it came to pass, when the days were well-nigh come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,
52
and sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.
53
And they did not receive him, because his face was [as though he were] going to Jerusalem.
54
And when his disciples James and John saw [this], they said, Lord, wilt thou that we bid fire to come down from heaven, and consume them?
55
But he turned, and rebuked them.
56
And they went to another village.
57
And as they went on the way, a certain man said unto him, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.
58
And Jesus said unto him,
The foxes have holes, and the birds of the heaven [have] nests; but the Son of man hath not where 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.
60
But he said unto him,
Leave the dead to bury their own dead; but go thou and publish abroad the kingdom of God.
61
And another also said, I will follow thee, Lord; but first suffer me to bid farewell to them that are at my house.
62
But Jesus said unto him,
No man, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
