Luke 9:51-62
51It came to pass, when the days were near that he should be taken up, he intently set his face to go to Jerusalem,
52and sent messengers before his face. They went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, so as to prepare for him.
53They didn`t receive him, because he was traveling with his face set towards Jerusalem.
54When his disciples, James and John, saw this, they said, "Lord, do you want us to command fire to come down from the sky, and destroy them, just as Elijah did?"
55But he turned and rebuked them, "You don`t know what kind of spirit you are of.
56For the Son of Man didn`t come to destroy men`s lives, but to save them." They went to another village.
57As they went on the way, a certain man said to him, "I want to follow you wherever you go, Lord."
58Jesus said to him, "The foxes have holes, and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head."
59He said to another, "Follow me." But he said, "Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father."
60But Jesus said to him, "Leave the dead to bury their own dead, but you go and announce the kingdom of God."
61Another also said, "I want to follow you, Lord, but first allow me to bid farewell to those who are at my house."
62But Jesus said to him, "No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God."
