Luke Chapter 9 Verse 52And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.

And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and tare [him]. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him again to his father.

And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, he said unto his disciples,

‹Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men.›

But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him of that saying.

Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest.

And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by him,

And said unto them, ‹Whosoever shall receive this child in my name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great.›

And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us.

And Jesus said unto him, ‹Forbid› [him] ‹not: for he that is not against us is for us.›

And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,

And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem.

And when his disciples James and John saw [this], they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did?

But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, ‹Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.›

‹For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save› [them]. And they went to another village.

And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain [man] said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.

And Jesus said unto him, ‹Foxes have holes, and birds of the air› [have] ‹nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay› [his] ‹head.›

And he said unto another, ‹Follow me.› But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.

Jesus said unto him, ‹Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.›

And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.

And Jesus said unto him, ‹No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.›
