Lucas 9
Ang Bagong Tipan: Filipino Standard Version
Isinugo ni Jesus ang Labindalawang Alagad(A)
9 Tinipon ni Jesus ang labindalawa at pagkatapos ay binigyan niya ang mga ito ng kapangyarihan at karapatan sa lahat ng mga demonyo at magpagaling ng mga may karamdaman. 2 At isinugo niya ang mga ito upang ipangaral ang paghahari ng Diyos at magpagaling ng mga may sakit. 3 At sinabi niya sa kanila, “Huwag kayong magdala ng kahit ano sa inyong paglalakbay; kahit tungkod, balutan, tinapay, o salapi. Huwag din dalawa ang dalhin ninyong damit panloob. 4 Saanmang bahay kayo pumasok, mamalagi kayo roon hanggang sa pag-alis ninyo. 5 Saanmang lugar na hindi kayo tanggapin, ipagpag ninyo ang alikabok sa inyong mga paa pag-alis ninyo sa bayang iyon bilang patotoo laban sa kanila.” 6 Umalis sila at nagtungo sa mga nayon, habang ipinapangaral ang mabuting balita kahit saan at nagpapagaling ng mga karamdaman.
Nabagabag si Herodes(B)
7 Nabalitaan ng pinunong si Herodes ang lahat ng nangyayari. Nabagabag siya sapagkat sinasabi ng ilan na muling nabuhay si Juan. 8 Sabi naman ng iba na si Elias ay nagpakita na at ayon naman sa iba, ang isa sa mga propeta noong unang panahon ay nabuhay muli. 9 Sinabi ni Herodes, “Ako ang nagpapugot ng ulo ni Juan. Ngunit sino ito? Marami na akong nababalitaan tungkol sa kanya?” Kaya't sinikap niyang makita si Jesus.
Pinakain ni Jesus ang Limang Libo(C)
10 Nang bumalik ang mga apostol ay ibinalita nila kay Jesus ang kanilang ginawa. Sila ay kanyang isinama at palihim na nagtungo sa isang bayan na kung tawagin ay Bethsaida. 11 Subalit nang malaman ito ng mga tao, sumunod sila sa kanya. Sila ay malugod naman niyang tinanggap at ipinahayag sa kanila ang tungkol sa paghahari ng Diyos. Pinagaling din niya ang mga may karamdaman. 12 Nagsisimula nang matapos ang araw nang lumapit sa kanya ang labindalawa at nagsabi, “Pauwiin na po ninyo ang mga tao upang makapunta sila sa mga nayon at karatig-pook, nang sa gayo'y makahanap sila ng matutuluyan at makakain. Tayo po'y nasa ilang na lugar.” 13 Ngunit sinabi niya sa kanila, “Kayo ang magbibigay sa kanila ng makakain.” Sinabi nila sa kanya, “Wala po tayong dalang anuman kundi limang tinapay at dalawang isda, maliban na lamang kung aalis kami at bibili ng pagkain para sa mga taong ito.” 14 Sapagkat halos limang libong kalalakihan ang naroroon. At sinabi niya sa kanyang mga alagad, “Paupuin ninyo sila nang pangkat-pangkat na tiglilimampu.” 15 Pinaupo nga nila ang lahat. 16 Kinuha niya ang limang tinapay at dalawang isda, tumingala siya sa langit, pinagpala ang mga ito, pinagputul-putol at ibinigay sa mga alagad upang ipamahagi sa mga tao. 17 Kumain silang lahat at nabusog. Nang tipunin ang mga lumabis ay napuno ang labindalawang kaing.
Ang Pahayag ni Pedro tungkol kay Jesus(D)
18 Minsan, nang si Jesus ay mag-isang nananalangin, lumapit sa kanya ang kanyang mga alagad. Tinanong niya ang mga ito, “Ano ang sinasabi ng mga tao kung sino ako?” 19 Sumagot sila, “Si Juan na Tagapagbautismo! Ngunit ayon sa iba ay si Elias. Ayon naman sa iba ay isang propeta noong unang panahon na nabuhay muli.” 20 At sinabi niya sa kanila, “Kayo naman, ano sa palagay ninyo kung sino ako?” Sumagot si Pedro, “Ikaw ang Cristo na hinirang ng Diyos!”
Ang tungkol sa Kamatayan at Muling Pagkabuhay ni Jesus(E)
21 Mahigpit na nagbilin sa kanila si Jesus na huwag itong sabihin kaninuman. 22 Sinabi niya, “Kailangang magtiis ng maraming hirap ang Anak ng Tao. Itatakwil siya ng mga matatandang pinuno ng bayan, ng mga punong pari at ng mga tagapagturo ng Kautusan. Papatayin siya ngunit muling bubuhayin sa ikatlong araw.” 23 At sinabi niya sa kanilang lahat, “Kung nais ninuman na sumunod sa akin, tanggihan niya ang kanyang sarili, pasanin araw-araw ang kanyang krus at sumunod sa akin. 24 Sapagkat sinumang nais magligtas ng kanyang buhay ay mawawalan nito. Subalit sinumang mawalan ng kanyang buhay dahil sa akin ay magliligtas nito. 25 Sapagkat ano ang mapapakinabang ng isang tao kung makamtan man niya ang buong sanlibutan ngunit mapapahamak naman ang kanyang sarili? 26 Sapagkat kung ako ay ikahihiya ng sinuman gayundin ang aking mga salita, ikahihiya rin siya ng Anak ng Tao pagdating niya sa kanyang kaluwalhatian, at sa kaluwalhatian ng Ama, at ng mga banal na anghel. 27 Tinitiyak ko sa inyo: may ilan sa mga nakatayo rito ang hinding-hindi daranas ng kamatayan hanggang sa makita nila ang paghahari ng Diyos.”
Ang Pagbabagong-anyo ni Jesus(F)
28 Pagkalipas ng walong araw nang masabi niya ang mga ito, umakyat siya sa bundok kasama sina Pedro, Juan at Santiago upang manalangin. 29 Habang siya'y nananalangin, nagbago ang anyo ng kanyang mukha at ang kanyang damit ay naging nakasisilaw na puti. 30 Biglang may lumitaw na dalawang lalaki na nakikipag-usap sa kanya, sina Moises at Elias. 31 Maluwalhating nagpakita ang dalawang ito at nagsalita tungkol sa pagpanaw ni Jesus na malapit na niyang isagawa sa Jerusalem. 32 Tulog na tulog noon sina Pedro at ang kanyang mga kasama; ngunit nang magising sila ay nakita nila ang kaluwalhatian ni Jesus at ang dalawang lalaking nakatayong kasama niya. 33 At nang papalayo na ang mga ito sa kanya ay sinabi ni Pedro kay Jesus, “Panginoon, mabuti po na dumito tayo. Magtayo tayo ng tatlong kubol: isa para sa inyo, isa para kay Moises at isa para kay Elias.” Hindi nauunawaan ni Pedro ang kanyang sinasabi. 34 Nagsasalita pa siya nang dumating ang isang ulap at sila ay nililiman. Natakot sila nang matakpan sila nito. 35 Isang tinig ang narinig mula sa ulap na nagsasabi, “Ito ang aking anak, ang aking hinirang.[a] Sa kanya kayo makinig.” 36 Nang naglaho na ang tinig, natagpuang nag-iisa na si Jesus. Tumahimik sila at hindi ibinalita kaninuman ang alinman sa kanilang nakita.
Pinagaling ni Jesus ang Batang Lalaki(G)
37 Kinabukasan, matapos silang bumaba ng bundok ay sinalubong siya ng napakaraming tao. 38 Mula sa karamihan ay naroon ang isang lalaking nagsisisigaw, “Guro! Nakikiusap po ako na tingnan ninyo ang aking anak na lalaki, sapagkat siya ang kaisa-isa kong anak. 39 Bigla na lamang po siyang sinasaniban ng espiritu at biglang sumisigaw. Pinangingisay siya nito hanggang bumula ang kanyang bibig. Lubha po siyang pinahihirapan nito at halos ayaw siyang hiwalayan. 40 Nagsumamo po ako sa inyong mga alagad na palayasin ang espiritu ngunit hindi nila kaya.” 41 Sinabi ni Jesus sa mga alagad, “O lahing walang pananampalataya at napakasama, hanggang kailan ako mananatiling kasama ninyo at hanggang kailan ko kayo pagtitiisan?” Sinabi niya sa lalaki, “Dalhin mo rito ang iyong anak.” 42 Habang lumalapit ang anak, inilugmok siya ng demonyo at pinapangisay. Ngunit sinaway ni Jesus ang maruming espiritu at pinagaling niya ang bata, at pagkatapos ay ibinigay sa kanyang ama. 43 Namangha ang lahat sa dakilang kapangyarihan ng Diyos.
Muling Sinabi ni Jesus ang tungkol sa Kanyang Kamatayan(H)
Subalit habang namamangha ang mga tao sa lahat ng kanyang ginagawa, sinabi niya sa kanyang mga alagad, 44 “Unawain ninyong mabuti ang sasabihin kong ito: ang Anak ng Tao ay malapit nang isuko sa kamay ng mga tao.” 45 Ngunit hindi nila naunawaan ang sinabing ito. Ang kahulugan nito'y inilihim sa kanila upang hindi nila ito maunawaan. Takot naman silang magtanong sa kanya tungkol sa sinabi niyang ito.
Sino ang Pinakadakila?(I)
46 Nagkaroon ng pagtatalo ang mga alagad kung sino sa kanila ang pinakadakila. 47 Dahil batid ni Jesus ang kanilang iniisip, kinuha niya ang isang maliit na bata at pinatayo ito sa kanyang tabi. 48 Sinabi niya sa kanila, “Sinumang tumanggap sa batang ito dahil sa aking pangalan ay tumanggap sa akin. At ang sinumang tumatanggap sa akin ay tumatanggap sa nagsugo sa akin. Sapagkat ang pinakahamak sa inyong lahat ang siyang pinakadakila.”
Sinumang Hindi Laban sa Inyo ay Kapanalig Ninyo(J)
49 Sinabi ni Juan, “Panginoon, may nakita kaming nagpapalayas ng demonyo sa pamamagitan ng inyong pangalan, at pinagbawalan namin siya sapagkat hindi namin siya kasamang sumusunod sa inyo.” 50 Ngunit sinabi ni Jesus sa kanya, “Huwag ninyo siyang pagbawalan sapagkat sinumang hindi laban sa inyo ay kapanalig ninyo.”
Hindi Tinanggap si Jesus
51 Nang papalapit na ang araw ng pagtanggap sa kanya sa langit ay itinuon niya ang kanyang sarili sa pagpunta sa Jerusalem. 52 Nagpadala siya ng mga sugo na mauuna sa kanya. Umalis ang mga ito at pumasok sa isang nayon ng mga Samaritano upang maghanda para sa kanya. 53 Ngunit hindi siya tinanggap ng mga tagaroon sapagkat siya'y nagpasya nang pumunta sa Jerusalem. 54 Nang makita ito ng mga alagad na sina Santiago at Juan ay sinabi nila, “Panginoon, gusto ba ninyong magpaulan tayo ng apoy mula sa langit upang tupukin sila?” 55 Subalit humarap sa kanila si Jesus at sila'y sinaway. 56 Pumunta sila sa ibang nayon.
Ang mga Nais Sumunod kay Jesus(K)
57 Habang naglalakbay sila ay may nagsabi sa kanya, “Susunod ako sa inyo saan man kayo magtungo.” 58 Sinabi sa kanya ni Jesus, “May mga lungga ang mga asong-gubat at may mga pugad naman ang mga ibon ng himpapawid, ngunit ang Anak ng Tao ay walang sariling matitirahan.” 59 Sinabi niya sa isa, “Sumunod ka sa akin!” Ngunit sumagot ito, “Panginoon, hayaan muna ninyo akong umalis upang ilibing ko ang aking ama.” 60 Ngunit sinabi niya, “Ipaubaya mo na sa mga patay ang paglilibing sa sarili nilang patay. Subalit para sa iyo, humayo ka at ipahayag mo ang paghahari ng Diyos.” 61 Sinabi naman sa kanya ng isa pa, “Susunod po ako sa inyo Panginoon, ngunit hayaan muna ninyo akong makapagpaalam sa aking mga kasambahay.” 62 Subalit sinabi sa kanya ni Jesus, “Sinumang humawak sa araro at lingon nang lingon ay hindi karapat-dapat sa kaharian ng Diyos.”

Good News Translation
Jesus Sends Out the Twelve Disciples(A)
9 Jesus called the twelve disciples together and gave them power and authority to drive out all demons and to cure diseases. 2 Then he sent them out to preach the Kingdom of God and to heal the sick, 3 after saying to them, “Take nothing with you for the trip: no walking stick, no beggar's bag, no food, no money, not even an extra shirt. 4 Wherever you are welcomed, stay in the same house until you leave that town; 5 (B)wherever people don't welcome you, leave that town and shake the dust off your feet as a warning to them.”
6 The disciples left and traveled through all the villages, preaching the Good News and healing people everywhere.
Herod's Confusion(C)
7 (D)When Herod, the ruler of Galilee, heard about all the things that were happening, he was very confused, because some people were saying that John the Baptist had come back to life. 8 Others were saying that Elijah had appeared, and still others that one of the prophets of long ago had come back to life. 9 Herod said, “I had John's head cut off; but who is this man I hear these things about?” And he kept trying to see Jesus.
Jesus Feeds Five Thousand(E)
10 The apostles came back and told Jesus everything they had done. He took them with him, and they went off by themselves to a town named Bethsaida. 11 When the crowds heard about it, they followed him. He welcomed them, spoke to them about the Kingdom of God, and healed those who needed it.
12 When the sun was beginning to set, the twelve disciples came to him and said, “Send the people away so that they can go to the villages and farms around here and find food and lodging, because this is a lonely place.”
13 But Jesus said to them, “You yourselves give them something to eat.”
They answered, “All we have are five loaves and two fish. Do you want us to go and buy food for this whole crowd?” 14 (There were about five thousand men there.)
Jesus said to his disciples, “Make the people sit down in groups of about fifty each.”
15 After the disciples had done so, 16 Jesus took the five loaves and two fish, looked up to heaven, thanked God for them, broke them, and gave them to the disciples to distribute to the people. 17 They all ate and had enough, and the disciples took up twelve baskets of what was left over.
Peter's Declaration about Jesus(F)
18 One day when Jesus was praying alone, the disciples came to him. “Who do the crowds say I am?” he asked them.
19 (G)“Some say that you are John the Baptist,” they answered. “Others say that you are Elijah, while others say that one of the prophets of long ago has come back to life.”
20 (H)“What about you?” he asked them. “Who do you say I am?”
Peter answered, “You are God's Messiah.”
Jesus Speaks about His Suffering and Death(I)
21 Then Jesus gave them strict orders not to tell this to anyone. 22 He also told them, “The Son of Man must suffer much and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the teachers of the Law. He will be put to death, but three days later he will be raised to life.”
23 (J)And he said to them all, “If you want to come with me, you must forget yourself, take up your cross every day, and follow me. 24 (K)For if you want to save your own life, you will lose it, but if you lose your life for my sake, you will save it. 25 Will you gain anything if you win the whole world but are yourself lost or defeated? Of course not! 26 If you are ashamed of me and of my teaching, then the Son of Man will be ashamed of you when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels. 27 I assure you that there are some here who will not die until they have seen the Kingdom of God.”
The Transfiguration(L)
28 About a week after he had said these things, Jesus took Peter, John, and James with him and went up a hill to pray. 29 While he was praying, his face changed its appearance, and his clothes became dazzling white. 30 Suddenly two men were there talking with him. They were Moses and Elijah, 31 who appeared in heavenly glory and talked with Jesus about the way in which he would soon fulfill God's purpose by dying in Jerusalem. 32 Peter and his companions were sound asleep, but they woke up and saw Jesus' glory and the two men who were standing with him. 33 As the men were leaving Jesus, Peter said to him, “Master, how good it is that we are here! We will make three tents, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” (He did not really know what he was saying.)
34 While he was still speaking, a cloud appeared and covered them with its shadow; and the disciples were afraid as the cloud came over them. 35 (M)A voice said from the cloud, “This is my Son, whom I have chosen—listen to him!”
36 When the voice stopped, there was Jesus all alone. The disciples kept quiet about all this and told no one at that time anything they had seen.
Jesus Heals a Boy with an Evil Spirit(N)
37 The next day Jesus and the three disciples went down from the hill, and a large crowd met Jesus. 38 A man shouted from the crowd, “Teacher! I beg you, look at my son—my only son! 39 A spirit attacks him with a sudden shout and throws him into a fit, so that he foams at the mouth; it keeps on hurting him and will hardly let him go! 40 I begged your disciples to drive it out, but they couldn't.”
41 Jesus answered, “How unbelieving and wrong you people are! How long must I stay with you? How long do I have to put up with you?” Then he said to the man, “Bring your son here.”
42 As the boy was coming, the demon knocked him to the ground and threw him into a fit. Jesus gave a command to the evil spirit, healed the boy, and gave him back to his father. 43 All the people were amazed at the mighty power of God.
Jesus Speaks Again about His Death(O)
The people were still marveling at everything Jesus was doing, when he said to his disciples, 44 “Don't forget what I am about to tell you! The Son of Man is going to be handed over to the power of human beings.” 45 But the disciples did not know what this meant. It had been hidden from them so that they could not understand it, and they were afraid to ask him about the matter.
Who Is the Greatest?(P)
46 (Q)An argument broke out among the disciples as to which one of them was the greatest. 47 Jesus knew what they were thinking, so he took a child, stood him by his side, 48 (R)and said to them, “Whoever welcomes this child in my name, welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me, also welcomes the one who sent me. For the one who is least among you all is the greatest.”
Whoever Is Not against You Is for You(S)
49 John spoke up, “Master, we saw a man driving out demons in your name, and we told him to stop, because he doesn't belong to our group.”
50 “Do not try to stop him,” Jesus said to him and to the other disciples, “because whoever is not against you is for you.”
A Samaritan Village Refuses to Receive Jesus
51 As the time drew near when Jesus would be taken up to heaven, he made up his mind and set out on his way to Jerusalem. 52 He sent messengers ahead of him, who went into a village in Samaria to get everything ready for him. 53 But the people there would not receive him, because it was clear that he was on his way to Jerusalem. 54 (T)When the disciples James and John saw this, they said, “Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to destroy them?”[a]
55 Jesus turned and rebuked them.[b] 56 Then Jesus and his disciples went on to another village.
The Would-Be Followers of Jesus(U)
57 As they went on their way, a man said to Jesus, “I will follow you wherever you go.”
58 Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes, and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lie down and rest.”
59 He said to another man, “Follow me.”
But that man said, “Sir, first let me go back and bury my father.”
60 Jesus answered, “Let the dead bury their own dead. You go and proclaim the Kingdom of God.”
61 (V)Someone else said, “I will follow you, sir; but first let me go and say good-bye to my family.”
62 Jesus said to him, “Anyone who starts to plow and then keeps looking back is of no use for the Kingdom of God.”
Luke 9
King James Version
9 Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.
2 And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.
3 And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece.
4 And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence depart.
5 And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.
6 And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where.
7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him: and he was perplexed, because that it was said of some, that John was risen from the dead;
8 And of some, that Elias had appeared; and of others, that one of the old prophets was risen again.
9 And Herod said, John have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see him.
10 And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all that they had done. And he took them, and went aside privately into a desert place belonging to the city called Bethsaida.
11 And the people, when they knew it, followed him: and he received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing.
12 And when the day began to wear away, then came the twelve, and said unto him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the towns and country round about, and lodge, and get victuals: for we are here in a desert place.
13 But he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no more but five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy meat for all this people.
14 For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down by fifties in a company.
15 And they did so, and made them all sit down.
16 Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and brake, and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude.
17 And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets.
18 And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying, Whom say the people that I am?
19 They answering said, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias; and others say, that one of the old prophets is risen again.
20 He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering said, The Christ of God.
21 And he straitly charged them, and commanded them to tell no man that thing;
22 Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day.
23 And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.
25 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?
26 For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels.
27 But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.
28 And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray.
29 And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering.
30 And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias:
31 Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem.
32 But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: and when they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.
33 And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias: not knowing what he said.
34 While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.
35 And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.
36 And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it close, and told no man in those days any of those things which they had seen.
37 And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they were come down from the hill, much people met him.
38 And, behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee, look upon my son: for he is mine only child.
39 And, lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it teareth him that he foameth again, and bruising him hardly departeth from him.
40 And I besought thy disciples to cast him out; and they could not.
41 And Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring thy son hither.
42 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.
43 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,
44 Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men.
45 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.
46 Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest.
47 And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by him,
48 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.
49 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.
50 And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us.
51 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,
52 And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.
53 And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem.
54 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?
55 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.
56 For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.
57 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.
58 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.
59 And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.
60 Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.
61 And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.
62 And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
