Luke 9:56
54 When the disciples James and John saw this, they asked, “Lord, do You want us to call down fire from heaven to consume them?”
55 But Jesus turned and rebuked them.
And He and His disciples went on to another village.
57 As they were walking along the road, someone said to Jesus, “I will follow You wherever You go.”
58 Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay His head.”
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
