Brooklyn Museum - Jesus Discourses with His Disciples
(Jésus s'entretient avec ses disciples) - James Tissot. [PD-US]
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 him
because 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 heaven
to 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
plow
and looks to what was left behind is fit for the
kingdom of God.”
Luke 9:51-62
