Luke 9:51-56
21st Century King James Version
51 And it came to pass, when the time had come that He should be received up, He steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem,
52 and He sent messengers before His face. And they went and entered into a village of the Samaritans to make ready for Him.
53 But they did not receive Him, because His face was set 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 Elijah 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.
