Luke 9:52–62

⁵²And he sent messengers before his face: and going, they entered into a city of the Samaritans, to prepare for him.

⁵³And they received him not, because his face was of one going to Jerusalem.

⁵⁴And when his disciples, James and John, had seen this, they said: Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven and consume them?

⁵⁵And turning, he rebuked them, saying: you know not of what spirit you are.

⁵⁶The Son of man came not to destroy souls, but to save. And they went into another town.

⁵⁷And it came to pass, as they walked in the way, that a certain man said to him: I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.

⁵⁸Jesus said to him: The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air nests: but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.

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

⁶⁰And Jesus said to him: Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.

⁶¹And another said: I will follow thee, Lord; but let me first take my leave of them that are at my house.

⁶²Jesus said to him: No man putting his hand to the plough and looking back is fit for the kingdom of God.
