Luke 9 v 51-62
Samaritan Opposition
51
As the time approached for him to be taken up to heaven, Jesus resolutely
set out for Jerusalem.
52 And he sent messengers on ahead, who went into a
Samaritan village to get things ready for him;
53 but the people there did not
welcome him because he was heading for Jerusalem.
54 When the disciples,
James and John, saw this, they asked, “Lord, do you want us to call fire down
from heaven to destroy them?”
55 But Jesus turned and rebuked them.
56 and
they went to another village.

57
As they were walking along the road, a man said to him, “I will follow you
wherever you go.”
58
Jesus replied, “Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the
Son of Man has no place to lay his head.”
59
He said to another man, ”Follow me.” But the man replied, “Lord, first let me
go and bury my father.”
60
Jesus said to him, ”Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and
proclaim the kingdom of God.”
61
Still another said, “I will follow you, Lord, but first let me go back and say
goodbye to my family.”
62
Jesus replied, “No one who puts his hand to the plough and looks back is fit
for service in the kingdom of God.”
