lay his head.

(59)And he said to another, Follow me. And he said, Lord, permit me
first to return home, and put my father in his grave. (60)And Jesus
said unto him, Leave the dead to bury their own dead, but go thou,
preach the kingdom of God.

(61)Then said another, I will follow thee, Lord, but give me leave
first to bid adieu to those at my house. (62)But Jesus said unto him,
No man laying his hand on the plough, and looking to the things left
behind, is fit for the kingdom of God.

THEN after these things the Lord appointed other seventy persons also,
and sent them, two and two before his face, into every city and place,
whither he himself designed to go. (2)He said therefore unto them, The
harvest indeed is plenteous, but the labourers few: pray ye therefore
to the Lord of the harvest, that he would send out labourers into his
harvest. (3)Go forth! behold, I send you out as lambs in the midst of
