Luke 9:55–62
55But he turned and rebuked them,“You don’t know of what kind of spirit you are.↗
56For the Son of Man didn’t come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them.” They went to another village.↗
57As they went on the way, a certain man said to him, “I want to follow you wherever you go, Lord.”↗
58Jesus said to him,“The foxes have holes and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.”↗
59He said to another,“Follow me!” But he said, “Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.”↗
60But Jesus said to him,“Leave the dead to bury their own dead, but you go and announce God’s Kingdom.”↗
61Another also said, “I want to follow you, Lord, but first allow me to say good-bye to those who are at my house.”↗
62But Jesus said to him,“No one, having put his hand to the plow and looking back, is fit for God’s Kingdom.”↗
