Luke 9:52-62 ▼

52 And sent messengers before him: and they went and entred into a towne of the Samaritans, to prepare him lodging.

53 But they woulde not receiue him, because his behauiour was, as though he would go to Hierusalem.

54 And when his disciples, Iames and Iohn sawe it, they saide, Lorde, wilt thou that we commaund, that fire come downe from heauen, and consume them, euen as Elias did?

55 But Iesus turned about, & rebuked them, and said, Ye knowe not of what spirit ye are.

56 For the Sonne of man is not come to destroy mens liues, but to saue them. Then they went to another towne.

57 And it came to passe that as they went in the way, a certaine man said vnto him, I will followe thee, Lord, whithersoeuer thou goest.

58 And Iesus saide vnto him, The foxes haue holes, and the birdes of the heauen nestes, but the Sonne of man hath not whereon to lay his head.

59 But he said vnto another, Followe me; the same said, Lord, suffer me first to goe and burie my father.

60 And Iesus said vnto him, Let the dead burie their dead: but go thou, and preache the kingdome of God.

61 Then another saide, I will followe thee, Lord: but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at mine house.

62 And Iesus saide vnto him, No man that putteth his hand to the plough, and looketh backe, is apt to the kingdome of God.
