Now as the time was coming to a head when He should be taken up to heaven, He firmly set His face to continue His journey to Jerusalem; so He sent messengers before Him.

When the disciples, James and John, saw this, they said, "Lord, do you want us to bid fire come down from heaven and consume them?" But He turned at once and reproved them. Then they went on to a different village. While they were going along the road, a man said to Him, "I will follow you wherever you go." But Jesus said to him, "Foxes have holes, even wild birds have roosts, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head." He said to another man, "Follow me." But he said, "Let me first go back and bury my father." Then He answered him, "Leave the dead to bury their own dead; but you go on and continue to spread the good news of the kingdom of God." Still another man said, "I will follow you, Lord, but let me first say 'Goodbye' to the homefolks." Jesus said to him, "No one who puts his hand to the plow, and then continues to look back, is fitted for service in the kingdom of God."

Now the Jewish feast of Dwelling in Tents was approaching. So His brothers said to Him, "You must leave here and go to Judea, to let your disciples also see the works that you are doing; for no one does anything in secret when he is trying to be known to the public. If you are going to do this, show yourself publicly to the world." read more.
For even His brothers did not believe in Him. Then Jesus said to them, "It is not yet time for me to do so, but anytime is suitable for you. It is impossible for the world to hate you; it is I whom it hates, because I continue to testify that its works are wicked. Go up to the feast yourselves; I am not going up to it yet, for it is not quite time for me to go." He told them this and stayed on in Galilee. But after His brothers had gone up to the feast, then He went up too, not publicly but, as it were, privately. Now the Jews at the feast were looking for Him and kept asking, "Where is He?"
