Luke 9:54-62 ▼

54 When his disciples, Iames & Iohn, sawe this, they sayde: Lord, wylt thou that we comaunde fire to come downe from heauen and consume them, euen as Elias dyd?

55 Iesus turned about, & rebuked them, saying: Ye wote not what maner spirite ye are of.

56 For the sonne of man is not come to destroye mens lyues, but to saue them. And they went to another towne.

57 And it came to passe, that as they went walkyng in the way, a certayne man sayde vnto hym: I wyll folowe thee Lorde whyther so euer thou go.

58 And Iesus sayde vnto hym: Foxes haue holes, and byrdes of the ayre haue nestes: but the sonne of man, hath not where to lay his head.

59 And he sayde vnto another, folowe me. And the same sayde: Lorde, suffer me first to go and burie my father.

60 Iesus sayde vnto hym, Let the dead burie their dead: but go thou & preache the kyngdome of God.

61 And another sayde: Lorde I wyll folowe thee, but let me first go byd them farewell, which are at home at my house.

62 Iesus sayde vnto hym: No man that putteth his hande to the plowe, and loketh backe, is apt to the kyngdome of God.
