Luke 9:51-56

Good News Translation

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 (A)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.
