But Jesus said to him, "Do not forbid him, for he who is not against us is on our side."
51
Now it came to pass, when the time had come for Him to be received up, that He steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem,
52
and sent messengers before His face. And as they went, they entered a village of the Samaritans, to prepare for Him.
53
But they did not receive Him, because His face was set for the journey to Jerusalem.
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."
