Luke 9:50-60

⁵⁰“None of you must prevent him,” Jesus said to John; “whoever's not against you is for you.”

⁵¹As the days before his being taken up to heaven were growing few, Jesus set his face resolutely in the direction of Jerusalem; and he sent on messengers in advance.

⁵²On their way, they went into a Samaritan village to make preparations for him,

⁵³but the people there did not welcome him, because his face was set in the direction of Jerusalem.

⁵⁴When James and John saw this, they said, “Master, do you wish us to call for fire to come down from the heavens and consume them?”

⁵⁵But Jesus turned and rebuked them.

⁵⁶And they made their way to another village.

⁵⁷And, while they were on their way, a man said to Jesus, “I will follow you wherever you go.”

⁵⁸“Foxes have holes,” he replied, “and wild birds their nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.”

⁵⁹To another man Jesus said, “Follow me.” “Let me first go and bury my father,” said the man.

⁶⁰But Jesus said, “Leave the dead to bury their dead; but go yourself and carry far and wide the news of the kingdom of God.”
