Luke 9:54-62 ▼

54 Now when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, |Lord, do you want us to call fire to come down from heaven and consume them?|

55 But Jesus turned and rebuked them,

56 and they went on to another village.

57 As they were walking along the road, someone said to him, |I will follow you wherever you go.|

58 Jesus said to him, |Foxes have dens and the birds in the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.|

59 Jesus said to another, |Follow me.| But he replied, |Lord, first let me go and bury my father.|

60 But Jesus said to him, |Let the dead bury their own dead, but as for you, go and proclaim the kingdom of God.|

61 Yet another said, |I will follow you, Lord, but first let me say goodbye to my family.|

62 Jesus said to him, |No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.|
