Luke 9:51-56
American Standard Version
51 And it came to pass, when the days [a]were well-nigh come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem, 52 and sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him. 53 And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he were going to Jerusalem. 54 And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we bid fire to come down from heaven, and consume them[b]? 55 But he turned, and rebuked them[c]. 56 And they went to another village.
