52 And he sent messengers before his face: and having gone, they came into a town of Samaritans, in order to prepare for him. 53 And they received him not, for his face was going to Jerusalem. 54 And his disciples James and John having seen, said, O Lord, wilt thou that we should speak fire to come down from heaven, and destroy them, as also did Elias? 55 And having turned he censured them, and said, Ye know not of what sort of spirit ye are. 56 For the Son of man came not to destroy men's souls, but to save them. And they proceeded into another town: 57 And it was, they going in the way, a certain one said to him, I will follow thee wherever thou shouldest go forth, Lord. 58 And Jesus said to him, Foxes have dens, and fowls of heaven encampments; but the Son of man has not where he might lay down the head. 59 And he said to another, Follow me. And he said, Lord, permit me having gone, first to inter my father. 60 And Jesus said to him, Permit the dead to inter their own dead; and thou, having gone, announce the kingdom of God. 61 And another said, I will follow thee, Lord; and first permit me to take leave of those in my house. 62 And Jesus said to him, No one putting his hand upon the plough, and looking back, is adapted to the kingdom of God.
