52And he sent messengers before him,h and they went and* entered into a village of the Samaritans in order to prepare for him. 53And they did not welcome him because he was determined to goi to Jerusalem. 54Now when* the disciples James and John saw it,* they said, “Lord, do you want us to call fire to come down from heaven and consume them?” 55But he turned around and* rebuked them, 56and they proceeded to another village.

57And as* they were traveling on the road, someone said to him, “I will follow you wherever you go!” 58And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have dens and birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his* head.” 59And he said to another, “Follow me!” But he said, “Lord, first allow me to go and* bury my father.” 60But he said to him, “Leave the dead to bury their own dead! But you go and* proclaim the kingdom of God.” 61And another person also said, “I will follow you, Lord, but first allow me to say farewell to those in my house.” 62But Jesus said,j “No one who puts his* hand on the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God!”
