New Testament

Luke 9:54-60 New King James Version (NKJV)

54. And when His disciples James and John saw this, they said, “Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, just as Elijah did?”

55. But He turned and rebuked them, and said, “You do not know what manner of spirit you are of.

56. For the Son of Man did not come to destroy men’s lives but to save them.” And they went to another village.

57. Now it happened as they journeyed on the road, that someone said to Him, “Lord, I will follow You wherever You go.”

58. And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.”

59. Then He said to another, “Follow Me.”But he said, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father.”

60. Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and preach the kingdom of God.”
