Gospel Lk 9:51-62 When the days for Jesus’ being taken up were fulfilled, he resolutely determined to journey to Jerusalem,and he sent messengers ahead of him. On the way they entered a Samaritan village to prepare for his reception there,but they would not welcome himbecause the destination of his journey was Jerusalem. When the disciples James and John saw this they asked,“Lord, do you want us to call down fire from heavento consume them?” Jesus turned and rebuked them, and they journeyed to another village.As they were proceeding on their journey someone said to him,“I will follow you wherever you go.” Jesus answered him,“Foxes have dens and birds of the sky have nests,but the Son of Man has nowhere to rest his head.”And to another he said, “Follow me.” But he replied, “Lord, let me go first and bury my father.” But he answered him, “Let the dead bury their dead. But you, go and proclaim the kingdom of God.” And another said, “I will follow you, Lord,but first let me say farewell to my family at home.” To him Jesus said, “No one who sets a hand to the plowand looks to what was left behind is fit for the kingdom of God.” the Gospel of the Lord,
