Luke 9:54-62 ▼

54 And, seeing it , His disciples, James and John, said, "Lord, dost Thou wish that we bid fire come down from heaven, and consume them?"

55 But, turning, He rebuked them.

56 And they went on to another village.

57 And, as they were journeying in the way, a certain one said to Him, "I will follow Thee wheresoever Thou goest."

58 And Jesus said to him, "The foxes have dens; and the birds of the heaven lodging-places; but the Son of Man hath not where to recline His head."

59 And He said to another, "Follow Me." But he said, "Lord, permit me, going away, first to bury my father."

60 And He said, "Leave the dead to bury their own dead; but, going, publish abroad the Kingdom of God."

61 And another said, "I will follow Thee, Lord; but first permit me to bid adieu to those within my house."

62 And Jesus said to him, "No one, having put his hand to a plow, and looking back, is fit for the Kingdom of God."
