Luke 9:50-60

⁵⁰“Don't stop him,” Jesus replied. “Anyone who isn't against you is for you.”

⁵¹As the time approached for him to ascend to heaven, Jesus was determined to go to Jerusalem.

⁵²He sent messengers on ahead to a Samaritan village to get things ready for him.

⁵³But the people would not welcome him because he was determined to press on to Jerusalem.

⁵⁴When James and John saw this, they asked Jesus, “Master, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to burn them up?”

⁵⁵But Jesus turned, and reprimanded them.

⁵⁶Then they proceeded to another village.

⁵⁷While they were walking, one man told Jesus, “I will follow you wherever you go!”

⁵⁸Jesus told the man, “Foxes have their dens, and wild birds have their nests, but the Son of man doesn't even have a place to rest his head.”

⁵⁹He told another man, “Follow me.” But the man replied, “Master, first let me go home and bury my father.”

⁶⁰“Let the dead bury their own dead,” Jesus replied. “You go and proclaim God's kingdom.”
