Luke 9

51 Ref And it came to pass, when the days were well-nigh come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,

52 Ref and sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.

53 Ref And they did not receive him, because his face was `as though he were' going to Jerusalem.

54 Ref And when his disciples James and John saw `this', they said, Lord, wilt thou that we bid fire to come down from heaven, and consume them?

55 Ref But he turned, and rebuked them.

56 Ref And they went to another village.

57 Ref And as they went on the way, a certain man said unto him, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.

58 Ref And Jesus said unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the heaven `have' nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.

59 Ref And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.

60 Ref But he said unto him, Leave the dead to bury their own dead; but go thou and publish abroad the kingdom of God.

61 Ref And another also said, I will follow thee, Lord; but first suffer me to bid farewell to them that are at my house.

62 Ref But Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
