50So Jesus said to him, “Do not forbid, because he who is not against us is for us.”
51Now it happened, as the days for His Ascension approached, that He set His face to go to Jerusalem,
52and He sent messengers ahead of Him. And as they went, they entered a village of the Samaritans, so as to prepare for Him.
53But they did not receive Him, because He was heading for Jerusalem.
54Well, when His disciples, James and John, saw this, they said, “Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven and consume them, just like Elijah did?”
55But He turned and rebuked them saying: “You do not know of what sort of spirit you are.
56Further, the Son of the Man did not come to destroy men's lives, but to save.” And they went to another village.
57Now as they journeyed on the road, it happened that someone said to Him, “Lord, I will follow you wherever you go.”
58So Jesus said to him, “The foxes have dens and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of the Man has no place to lay His head.”
59Then He said to another, “Follow me!” But he said, “Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father.”
60Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the Kingdom of God.”
